Fast Home Bridging Loans — Settle Now, Sell Later

Buying before you sell? Need fast settlement while waiting on bank approval or sale proceeds? Innovate Funding arranges home bridging loans through accredited Australian lending partners, helping you secure a property now and finalise your exit later.

We can assist with both:

  • Consumer bridging loans for moving homes (buy now, sell later), arranged through licensed credit providers, and

  • Business-purpose bridging loans secured by your home, where funds are used for investment, development, commercial or business activities.

When a Home Bridging Loan Makes Sense

Home bridging loans are often used when you need to:

  • Buy a new property before your current home sells

  • Secure a deal with a fast settlement timeframe

  • Release equity tied up in a property to fund business activity

  • Extend finance while refinancing to a major bank

  • Cover tax, renovations, deposits, business invoices or contractor payments

This type of funding suits borrowers who have a clear exit strategy — typically sale proceeds or refinance.

Types of Bridging Loans Available

Consumer Bridging Loan (Buy First, Sell Later)

Used when you are purchasing a new primary residence and selling your existing home. We help connect you with accredited consumer lenders who can provide:

  • Short-term finance to complete settlement

  • Interest-only periods while your current property is listed

  • Capitalised interest options

  • Pre-approved limits to assist with negotiating power

Ideal for owner-occupiers who want flexibility when transitioning between homes.

Business-Purpose Bridging Loan Secured by Your Home

If the funds are for business, investment, expansion, tax, development or commercial purposes, we can arrange private bridging loans secured by your residence via our private lending partners.

This can be useful for:

  • ATO and tax liabilities

  • Stock, payroll, invoices, supplier payments

  • Commercial property purchases

  • Development projects and deposits

  • Refinancing short-term or distressed facilities

How Bridging Loans Are Repaid (Exit Strategies)

Common exit strategies include:

  • Sale of existing property

  • Refinance to a long-term home loan or investment loan

  • Settlement from project or development proceeds

We help assess the structure and ensure the exit timing works with lender requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is a consumer bridging loan different from a business bridging loan?
Consumer bridging loans are regulated under the NCCP and are designed for owner-occupied or personal-use purposes, while business bridging loans are for commercial or investment transactions and are NCCP-exempt.

 

2. Can I use a bridging loan for renovations?
Yes, provided the primary purpose is to facilitate sale or settlement of your home.

3. What happens if my property takes longer to sell?
Innovate Funding can often extend your loan term. Communication is key if timelines change.

4. Are bridging loans interest-only?
Yes, most are interest-only. You can also capitalise interest to avoid monthly payments.

5. Can I get a bridging loan if I already have a mortgage?
Yes. We assess your total equity position across both properties to structure a suitable facility.
