Funding improvements with bridging finance

Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh lick of paint to get a property looking its best.

If your clients are preparing their property for sale, they want to do everything they can to maximise their return. With a few tweaks and cosmetic improvements, it’s possible to boost its appeal to potential buyers.

But did you know that bridging finance can be used to fund these small, non-structural improvements?

With Bridgit, clients can tap into their home’s equity to spruce up their property.

Here’s how it works:

Funds can be released for reasonable, cosmetic renovations that are non-structure in nature
The 12-month loan terms include six months to renovate and a further six months to sell the home
Best of all, they won’t need to make any repayments during this period—giving clients the freedom to focus on maximizing the property’s value without added financial pressure.

Remember - clients need to have their future living arrangements post-sale sorted, ensuring this is declared and verified at the time of application
