What Is a Bridging Loan?

A bridging loan is a short-term finance solution that helps cover the gap between buying a new property and selling your current one. It’s designed for homeowners who don’t want to miss out on their next ideal property but haven’t yet finalised the sale of their existing home.
This type of bridging finance ensures you don’t have to juggle temporary housing, rushed sales, or rigid timelines. Instead, you move with clarity—and confidence.

Who Bridging Finance Is For

Our bridging finance options are tailored for:

Homeowners upgrading or downsizing

Moving to a new home? We make the transition smooth and simple.

How Does a Bridging Loan Work?

Here’s how it plays out:
  • We take over your current home loan and fund the purchase of your new property.
  • The total amount borrowed is called the Peak Debt—this includes your existing mortgage, new purchase costs, and expenses like stamp duty.
  • You can choose to capitalise interest, meaning you won’t make repayments until your existing home is sold.
  • Once sold, the proceeds reduce your loan, and what remains is your End Debt—a standard home loan going forward.
So, how does a bridging loan work? It’s a short-term cushion, backed by strategy, that transitions into a long-term mortgage without disrupting your goals.

Types of Bridging Finance

At FYX Finance, we’re here to give you bridging finance options that reflect your situation—not just a generic set of checkboxes. Whether your path is already mapped out or still unfolding, we’ll help you find the loan that supports your move—with clarity, flexibility, and real support.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to bridging loans. Your financial situation, timeline, and goals are unique—and so are the solutions we offer. At FYX Finance, we provide several types of bridging finance tailored to real-life needs. Here’s how each option works:

Closed Bridging Loans

Apply now

Closed bridging loans are designed for borrowers who already have a signed contract for the sale of their existing property, with a known settlement date. This structure provides lenders with a clear repayment plan, which often means more favourable interest rates or loan terms.
This type of bridging finance works well if:
  • Your current home is sold and settlement is locked in
  • You want to finalise the purchase of your next property without delay
  • You need short-term funding with lower risk and tighter timing
Because the timeline is predictable, closed bridging loans often offer more straightforward approval pathways and a defined repayment period—usually aligning with the settlement date of your existing home.

Open Bridging Loans

Apply now

Open bridging loans are ideal when you’re buying a new home but haven’t yet sold—or even listed—your current one. This flexible finance option supports those who want to secure the right property first, before dealing with the market conditions and logistics of selling.
Choose an open bridging loan if:
  • You’re ready to purchase but need more time to sell
  • You’re still preparing your current property for market
  • You value flexibility and breathing room over firm deadlines
While open loans give you more freedom, they can come with slightly higher rates or more detailed lender scrutiny. That said, FYX Finance helps structure these loans to keep your financial stress low and your path forward open.

LTV Bridging Loans

Apply now

Loan-to-Value (LTV) bridging loans are structured around the value of the new property and the equity in your current one. The LTV ratio helps determine how much you can borrow relative to the combined property values—factoring in your Peak Debt and eventual End Debt.
LTV loans may suit you if:
  • You have significant equity in your current property
  • You need to borrow up to or near the full purchase price of your new home
  • You want clarity on how your loan aligns with property values and risk thresholds
With FYX Finance, we walk you through how LTV ratios impact your eligibility and borrowing power. If your End Debt ends up being more than 80% of the value of your new home, you may also need to consider Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI)—but don’t worry, we’ll explain what that means for your bottom line.
