Your bridging loan questions answered

A bridging loan is a short-term fully secured loan, that allows you to finance the purchase of a new home before your current home is sold.

It is also suitable for people who require finance for the construction of a new owner-occupied property while they are actively selling their existing property.

P&N Bank bridging loans are variable rate, interest only loans, with a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayment option. Loan terms range between six and 12 months.

For more information on bridging loans, see our Bridging Loan Target Market Determination.

Buying a property costs much more than just the purchase price. You'll need to consider additional costs such as stamp duty, building and pest inspection fees, strata costs, pro rata council rates, transfer fees and more.

Use our home buying and selling cost calculator to get an accurate breakdown of the costs involved.

It's more common than you'd expect to buy a new property before selling your current one, especially when the real estate market is hot.

We have a range of loans available to assist you and the expertise to guide you through the buying and selling process. 

Plus, our helpful Buying and Selling calculator can help you estimate the cost of all the fees involved when buying a property and selling another property at the same time.

There are many costs (some of them not so obvious) when selling a house that sellers should be aware of. This includes real estate agent fees, settlement fees, advertising fees, conveyancing fees and more. 

Our home buying and selling cost calculator can help you estimate the total costs involved.

*Comparison rate calculated on a loan amount of $150,000 over a term of 25 years based on monthly repayments. For variable Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial 3 year Interest Only period. For fixed Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed period. During an Interest Only period, your Interest Only payments will not reduce your loan balance. This may mean you pay more interest over the life of the loan.

WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
