Fast-track approval process to meet your closing deadlines.
Funds released on time so you can close on your new home.
Bridge loans typically have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages (often prime + 2-4%). You'll also pay an administration fee and legal fees. However, since the loan is short-term, the total cost is usually manageable.
This is why lenders require a "firm" sale agreement (no conditions). If the sale falls through due to buyer default, you may need to find alternative financing or potentially sell the new property.
Traditional bridge financing requires a firm sale. However, if you have significant equity, we can explore private lending options that don't require a sale in place.
With all documentation in place, bridge financing can often be arranged within a few days. Bank bridge loans are typically arranged alongside your new mortgage.
