Short Term Property Funding

Short-term property funding helps people looking for a new home manage their finances better. It’s also a practical financial solution for the real estate industry. Short-term home loans typically cover the cost of purchasing a new house or property while the borrower’s existing property is still being renovated and processed for selling. It buys property owners enough time to find a new home without rushing the sale of their old property. Therefore, they can get the best deal possible for the sale of their old property.

Bridgit helps homeowners progress in life by providing them with short-term property loan options that suit their needs best. We help retirees downsize into a smaller home that is easier for them to manage and growing families who need a bigger space to accommodate their changing needs. From start to finish of your short-term bridging loan process, we will ensure to give you our best service.

What is considered short-term funding?
The definition of short-term property funding is not set in stone, but property loans with loan periods of less than one year are generally considered short-term loans. Some lenders may only allow a short-term loan of up to three months, while others can grant you a full-year term. However, note that your bridging finance rates are affected by the length of your short-term property loan term, the loan amount, and other factors.

At Bridgit, you can borrow up to $4,000,000, and you simply need to sell your existing property and settle your loan within 12 months. With bridging loans, homeowners can buy their next property without selling their homes immediately, so they can remove the need to spend a considerable amount of money on temporary storage or living spaces.

What is the shortest term that you can get a mortgage for?
The typical term for mortgage short-term personal loans in Australia is anywhere from six to twenty-four months. Terms differ from one lender to another and can be affected by factors such as your credit profile, loan amount, and interest rate. Traditional lenders, like banks, are usually more strict with their terms as compared to online lenders, so if you want a flexible term, consider online loan providers.

To apply for a Bridgit bridging loan, simply submit your application online and possibly get 24-hour approval. Our friendly team will reach out and ask you to provide a few more essential details about yourself if needed. We will then let you know how much you can borrow and for how long. If you accept our offer, you will simply need to make a small deposit from $900, and you can make your way to a settlement in as little as a few days.

When should I use short-term property funding?
If you’ve been looking up ‘how to buy a house when you haven't sold yours’, then short-term property funding might help you. Bridging loans are a great gap financing solution, so if you need temporary funding while you are preparing your home for a sale or buying a new property, consider using short-term quick loans. Short-term property funding is not necessarily a last-resort option; it is an efficient financial solution that frees up your cash flow and enables you to make smart buying decisions for your old property as well as your new one.

Bridgit has an Aussie-based team ready to assist you in buying a new home and getting a bridge loan that fits your needs and preferences.

We also don’t charge early exit fees at all. Whether you choose to pay back your loan early or right on time, you don’t have to worry about such fees. There’s no need to pay for monthly repayments either; you pay for the entire loan amount by the end of your loan period after you have sold your property already.
