Bridging Loan Meaning

Bridging Loan Meaning: How To Purchase A Home Before Selling

If you’ve spent time looking up terms like ‘bridging loan meaning’, then you know you’re on the right track to discovering how to secure your dream home before selling your current property.

However, instead of going straight ahead and checking what pops up when searching bridging loans Australia, allow us at Bridgit to show you just how this kind of financing works and how it can be beneficial for your specific situation. We’ll also help you understand some essential considerations, from age restrictions to employment requirements

Bridging finance explained

Looking into the process

This loan is a financial option for people looking to buy a new place they can call home. If they get approved, this type of financing grants them the ability to purchase a new house even before selling their current one; just think of it as a temporary bridge.

Once the old residence finds its new owner, the sale can proceed, and the funds can be used to pay off the bridging loan. If any balance remains post-sale, homeowners can refinance it with a traditional lending partner.

So, if you’re ready for a committed bridge loan provider who can understand your specific situation, don’t hesitate to connect with us at Bridgit. You don’t have to keep searching for terms like ‘bridging loan meaning’ online. Try our bridge loan calculator and apply now!

Our disclaimers

Eligibility and approval is subject to standard credit assessment and not all amounts, term lengths or rates will be available to all applicants. Fees, terms and conditions apply.



1The Stay Rate will only apply if a repayment is made from the sale of Outgoing Properties (or another repayment method approved by us, at our discretion) and the repayment reduces the Amount You Owe to an amount that is equal to or less than your Residual Loan Balance.



^Comparison rate is calculated on a $150,000 secured loan over a 25-year term. For Upsizer loans, a Bridge Rate applies for the first 12 months, followed by a Stay Rate thereafter. For Downsizer loans, only the Bridge Rate applies. WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the example provided and may not include all fees and charges. Different loan amounts, terms, or fee structures will result in different comparison rates. For interest-only periods, your loan balance does not reduce, meaning you may pay more interest over the life of the loan. Set-up fee from 0.60% and government charges apply.
