Bridging Loan
A bridging loan is a type of short-term finance that assists borrowers in bridging the difference between the purchase and sale of an existing property. When timing is critical, as it often is when sales are delayed, it offers prompt access to funds.
Common uses of bridge loans include:
- Bridging the divide between real estate purchases and sales
- Short-term funding for the maturity of investments
- Financing essential initiatives
- Easy access to funds
For bridging a short-term financial gap, bridging loans are a great option. They are useful if you need to take out a short-term loan. These loans work well in situations where there is a deadline, such as auctions, or when you are buying a new house but haven’t yet sold your old one.
Types of Bridging Loans
Short-term loans known as “bridging loans” are used to purchase a property before it is sold or refinanced. They are of two varieties: open and closed.
