Bridging Finance -The Best Short-Term Financial Solution
Bridging finance in NZ bridges the gap between the times when you have already bought a home or another property without selling the existing one. You will need to pay the interest for this loan until the existing property gets sold. It is a short-term loan varying from one month to one year by submitting the property as security.
LoansOne lending partners will use your house as security by registering a caveat over your property. You have to pay the interest-only repayments monthly. Some bridging loans also come with a full capitalization advantage, which means the lender will add the interest and costs to the loan and repayment will occur once the sale property settlement happens.
Some people also apply for bridging loans for use in their business, the available equity in a property being sold can be accessed for any worthwhile business purpose.
Different Types of Bridging Loan Mortgage
As mentioned above, there are primarily two types of bridging funds offered by LoansOne lending partners.
