Why private lenders may suit short-term bridging finance.

Short-term property finance is often about structure and timing. A borrower may only need funding for a few months, but standard bank finance may be too slow, too rigid or not suitable for the scenario. Private lenders can assess some short-term property-backed scenarios differently, subject to security, equity, LVR, term and exit strategy.

Common short-term finance needs

  • 3, 6, 9 or 12 month bridging facility
  • Temporary funding before property sale
  • Short-term refinance or payout
  • Settlement timing gap
  • Waiting for bank or non-bank refinance
  • Exit depends on sale or refinance

Private lenders focus more on:

  • Property security and available equity
  • Loan-to-value ratio
  • Required loan term
  • Reason funds are needed
  • Clear sale or refinance exit
  • Short-term bridging structure
