Get Access to a nationwide network of 200+ private lenders and specialist funding partners.
Helping property owners connect with suitable private lenders for bridging finance to stage and prepare a property for sale.
Staging and property preparation scenarios private lenders can consider.
Property owners may need short-term funding to stage, style, clean, repair or prepare a property before selling. Private bridging finance may help where there is sufficient equity, acceptable security and a clear sale exit strategy.
Why private bridging finance may help before sale.
Property owners may want to present a property properly before selling, but may not have available cash to cover staging, styling, cleaning or preparation costs. Private lenders can consider some staging-before-sale scenarios differently, subject to security, equity, LVR, preparation costs and sale exit strategy.
Common staging and preparation needs
- Professional home staging before listing
- Furniture hire or styling packages
- Cleaning, decluttering and storage
- Minor repairs and presentation improvements
- Gardening and exterior presentation
- Exit depends on property sale proceeds
Private lenders focus more on:
- Property security and available equity
- Loan-to-value ratio
- Staging and preparation budget
- Expected sale strategy
- Clear property sale exit
- Short-term bridging structure
