Understanding Residential Bridging Finance

Key concepts and strategies to help you make informed decisions about bridging finance for your property transactions.

Exit Strategy Planning

A clear exit strategy is crucial for bridging finance approval. This typically involves selling your existing property or refinancing to a traditional mortgage. Lenders need confidence in your ability to repay the loan within the agreed timeframe.

Interest Capitalisation

With capitalised interest, monthly payments aren't required as interest is added to the loan balance. This provides cash flow relief during the bridging period but increases the total amount to be repaid at loan maturity.

Loan-to-Value Ratios

LVR for bridging loans is typically lower than traditional mortgages due to the short-term nature and higher risk. Prime residential properties in major cities can achieve up to 75% LVR, while regional properties may be limited to 65-70%.

Speed vs Cost Trade-off

Bridging loans offer speed and flexibility but at a higher cost than traditional mortgages. Interest rates are typically 2-4% higher, plus establishment fees. The key is ensuring the opportunity justifies the additional cost.

Property Valuation Process

Quick property valuations are essential for fast approvals. We use experienced valuers who understand the urgency while maintaining accuracy. Desktop valuations may be accepted for well-known properties in established areas.

Risk Management

Successful bridging requires careful risk management. Consider market conditions, property liquidity, your financial capacity, and have contingency plans. Professional advice from experienced brokers and solicitors is highly recommended.
