A bridging loan is a short-term loan that helps bridge the financial gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. It provides temporary funds until a long-term financing solution is secured or the existing property is sold.
Bridging loans are used to prevent delays or seize time-sensitive opportunities. They have higher interest rates, require collateral, and offer quick access to funds.
The eligibility criteria for a bridging loan can vary depending on the lender and specific circumstances.
However, here are some common factors that lenders typically consider when assessing eligibility:
Bridging loans are secured loans, meaning the borrower needs to provide suitable collateral, usually in the form of a property.
Lenders assess the borrower's ability to repay the loan, considering factors such as income, assets, and existing debts.
Lenders may review the borrower's credit history to assess their creditworthiness and evaluate their ability to manage financial obligations.
Lenders will want to know the borrower's exit strategy, that demonstrates the borrower's ability to repay the loan within the agreed-upon term.
