Things to consider
When deciding whether a bridging loan is right for you, here’s some things to consider:
- Not everybody is eligible for a bridging loan, so before you commit make sure you speak with us or your broker;
- To be eligible you must be sure you can make repayments on both your existing loan and the bridging loan;
- You aren't required to make payments on the bridging loan within the bridging period. This interest capitalised up to 6 months and added to the loan balance, which means you will pay interest on this interest;
- If you chose to make extra repayments during the bridging period, there is no access to a redraw facility and you will not be able to access those funds later;
- It is important you understand the market and are confident that you can sell your home and pay down the bridging loan within your agreed term of up to 6 months. If you don't sell your home, when the bridging period ends you will be required to make repayments on both the existing home loan and new home loan;
- You may need to hold savings to ensure you can cover all repayments during the bridging period;
- If you're approved for a bridging loan, during the term you may need to manage multiple repayments during the bridging period;
- You may sell your current property for less than you expected, which will leave you with a higher loan balance than anticipated.
Tools to help you
Things you should know
1Bridging finance is only available where the loan to value ratio (LVR) is less than 80% inclusive of Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
2Loan servicing is only calculated on the end debt, where an unconditional contract of sale is held.
#Repayments can be determined after a conversation with a lender/broker/expert around what the loan purpose is and if you meet the criteria for income/affordability, like any other loan application.
