You have fallen in love with your ideal home, and your offer has been accepted. There is just one snag - you can't get shot of your old house quickly enough and the deal is at risk of falling through. A bridging loan may be the only way to keep the deal on track.
These loans are expensive and are usually considered to be a last resort. But if a bridging loan can tide you over in the short term then the extra expense may save you from losing money already spent in the purchase process, as well as reducing stress.
Activity in the bridging-loan market is small scale, especially during a property boom when there is rarely a problem with selling a home quickly. But when the market slackens off, more home owners are forced to consider these loans.
