What Is a Bridge Loan? 

🔍 How Does a Bridge Loan Work?

A bridge loan is typically interest-only and lasts 6–12 months. During this time, you’ll hold two loans:

  • Your existing mortgage
  • The bridging loan for your new property

Once your current home sells, the proceeds go toward paying off the original loan. The remaining balance becomes your new home loan.

🏠 Who Uses Bridging Finance?

  • Upgraders who find their dream home before selling
  • Downsizers who want to avoid renting between moves
  • Builders financing a new home while living in the old one

✅ Pros of Bridge Loans

  • Buy now, sell later—no need to rush your sale
  • Avoid renting or moving twice
  • Use your home equity as security

⚠️ Risks to Consider

  • If your home doesn’t sell in time, interest costs can balloon
  • You may face valuation fees for both properties
  • Some lenders charge higher rates if the sale is delayed

🤝 Is a Bridge Loan Right for You?
