Bridging Loans

Buy Your Next Home Before You Sell Your Current One. Skip the Rush.

In a fast-moving property market, timing is everything. Finding your next dream home doesn’t always align perfectly with finding a buyer for your current one. Instead of rushing a sale or moving into temporary accommodation, a Bridging Loan gives you the financial breathing room to buy first and sell later.

At Lendable, we compare bridging loan solutions from a broad panel of lenders to find a flexible option that suits your circumstances. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing or relocating, we’ll help structure a loan that supports a smooth transition with confidence and minimal stress.

  • MORE THAN JUST A BROKER

How Does a Bridging Loan Work?

A bridging loan is a temporary, short-term finance option (typically up to 12 months) that covers the financial gap between buying your new property and finalising the sale of your old one.

The process moves in three straightforward steps:

1. Peak Debt: The lender combines your existing mortgage balance with the contract price of your new home, plus buying costs like stamp duty. This temporary total is your “peak debt”.

2. The Bridging Period: While you wait for your current property to sell, you don’t have to stress about double mortgages. Repayments are usually structured as interest-only, or the interest can be “capitalised” (added directly to your loan balance) so you don’t make out-of-pocket repayments during the overlap.

3. End Debt: Once your old home sells, the net proceeds are immediately used to pay down the peak debt. Whatever remains is converted into a standard, ongoing home loan on your new property.

The Bridging Advantage: Why It Makes Sense

  • Never Miss ‘The One’: Snap up your next property the moment it hits the market without making your offer conditional on an uncertain home sale.
  • No Rental Hassles: Avoid the massive disruption, cost, and stress of moving twice, paying for storage facilities, or finding a short-term rental lease between homes.
  • Time to Sell Strategically: Instead of panic-selling your current home for a lower price just to meet a deadline, a bridging loan gives you up to a year to market your property properly and secure top dollar.
