Scenario Spotlight | July 2024

July 26, 2024

Arthur, a recent Bridgit customer, sought relief from rising interest rates by moving from the Melbourne city to his dream countryside home.

After 25 years in his Melbourne home, Arthur felt the pressure of increasing living costs after consecutive rate rises, compounded by the need to renovate his property. 

An ideal property in the country came to market, but his bank of 40 years wouldn’t help him unlock his equity due to serviceability requirements tied to his current employment status, even despite him having a valuable asset which he was in the process of selling.

Arthur turned to Bridgit. Being much more comfortable with mechanics than finance, Bridgit provided Arthur with a single security bridging loan against his Melbourne property, including additional funds for cosmetic improvements. This allowed him to purchase his dream home in the country and make the move.

Here’s a snapshot of the loan:

Loan amount: $542,000
Location: Metro Category 1, Victoria
LVR: 71.10%
Loan Type: Buy now, sell later

Arthur successfully relocated to his rural home, achieving his long-held dream of a treechange, and setting up his next stage.
