Bridging loans provide a short-term financing solution that allows you to purchase a new property before selling your existing one. At Intuitive Finance, we offer expert guidance to help you navigate the complexities of bridging loans, ensuring you secure the best option for your financial needs.

What are Bridging Loans?

A bridging loan is a short-term loan that helps you finance the purchase of a new property while you wait for your existing property to sell. This type of loan covers the gap between buying your new home and selling your old one, ensuring a smooth transition without the need for immediate sale. Bridging loans provide the necessary funds to secure your new property, offering peace of mind and financial flexibility during the process.

Types of Bridging Loans

Closed Bridging Loan

A closed bridging loan is available to borrowers who have already exchanged contracts on the sale of their existing property but have not yet completed the sale. This type of loan has a fixed end date, providing certainty about when the loan will be repaid.

ADVANTAGES

Open Bridging Loan

An open bridging loan is suitable for borrowers who have found a new property but have not yet sold their existing one. This type of loan does not have a fixed end date, offering more flexibility but typically comes with higher interest rates due to the increased risk.

I worked with Alexandra Pappas over a number of years as our goals shifted until I finally purchased my first property. Alex was always professional and clear in her explanations. Alex helped us navigate a few curly scenarios and I am grateful to have had her on my team throughout the process.

This was my second home buying experience and I went back to Intuitive finance as I was impressed the first time and I was not disappointed! Lachlan was amazing as was Natasha who was helpful, informative and very communicative in answering all questions. Nothing was too much trouble and I am grateful that the service has been the same if not better than my first time I used them! I could not recommend them enough!!

I am blown away by the exceptional service provided by Craig and the entire team at Intuitive Finance. Their expertise and dedication to finding the best financial solutions for us were truly impressive.We had a complex situation with multiple properties, and Craig took the time to understand our needs and worked tirelessly to secure the best possible deals. We refinanced three of our properties, and the process was seamless thanks to Craig's guidance.Their communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way. What really stood out was their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our financial goals were met. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion for their work are a rare find in the finance industry.We can't recommend Craig and the team at Intuitive Finance highly enough. If you're looking for a finance broker who will truly look after your interests, look no further.Thanks Michael & Alana

Third time I have used these guys and each time they proven their worth by guiding me through the relentless (and sometimes crazy) demands of various lenders. Special thanks to Natasha, Craig and Andrew for their patience and support. I don't hesitate to recommend Intuitive Finance and will use again when required.
