Buy Before You Sell: Chain-Break Bridging

Found your dream home but haven't sold yours yet? Here's how one couple bought first and sold after.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The story

How we got it done.

01 · The goal

What they wanted

To secure a home they loved without losing it while they waited for a buyer, and to cover stamp duty and improvements too.

02 · The challenge

Why it was complex

They had no buyer, and the seller wanted to move. A standard mortgage couldn't do it.

03 · The solution

How we structured it

A 12-month bridging loan secured on their current home. The interest was rolled up, so they had no monthly payments, and they bought as cash buyers.

04 · The result

The outcome

They moved in, sold the old home afterwards, and the bridge was repaid from the sale.

“Bridging isn't scary when it's planned properly. It turned a 'we'll lose it' into the keys.”
Josh Halsey, Founder and Director

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Bridging is short-term, higher-cost borrowing. You must have a clear exit, and your property may be repossessed if the loan isn't repaid at the end of the term.
