Your guide to Bridging Loans
Bridging loans lets you buy a new home now while you wait to sell your old one, later. When you sell your old property, the sale funds are used to pay down your Bridging Loan, after which the loan remaining will convert to a standard variable home loan. Read out guide for a more detailed explanation.
How it works
Frequently asked questions
A Bridging Loan gives you the funds to buy a new home now while you work to sell your old one within a ‘bridging’ period of either 6 or 12 months, starting from when you settle your new property.
The loan on your current home is refinanced and bundled with the loan amount of your new home to make the Bridging Loan. The bridging period of the loan exists until you sell your old home, at which point the sale funds are applied to reduce your loan, which then converts to a standard variable home loan against just your new property.
Yes. You can apply for a pre-approval on your Bridging Loan.
Our Bridging Loan is available to customers who are selling their existing owner occupied or investment property, to purchase a new owner occupied property. The new purchase must be owner occupied.
Depending on the bridging period you choose, interest may be charged. The interest charged during a bridging period is structured as follows:
-
Months 1 to 3: No interest charged and no repayment required.
-
Months 4 to 6: Interest charged monthly, interest will be capitalised (added) to principal loan amount, no repayment required.
-
Months 7 to 12: (if 12 month bridging period selected) Monthly interest only repayments required.

Real-life customer stories
Mary-Anne
Mary-Anne
Meet Mary-Anne, an amazing customer who needed a loan to buy her new home before the sale of her old one.
My husband and I decided to relocate. We wanted to be near our children, particularly our grandchildren, who lived interstate.
To make it work, we were selling two properties, our family home and an investment property, while also buying a new family home. The experience was challenging. It was a matter of being asset rich but cash poor, so we needed a simple loan, quickly, to help with the upfront costs of buying the new place while settling the sale of two others.
Bradley
Bradley
Meet Bradley, an amazing customer of ours who came to us when he wanted to refinance a complex home loan and kickstart his property investment journey.
Bradley had been with a major bank for over 20 years when he decided to restart his property investment journey. During the COVID period, he began looking into ways to unlock the equity in his home and expand his financial portfolio. However, the experience with his existing bank was anything but smooth.
With a background in engineering and a busy family life, Bradley wanted a streamlined and supportive lending experience that could help him achieve his goals without the red tape.
