Tide Over Finance

Buy Now, Sell with Confidence

Tide over finance (also known as bridging finance) allows you to purchase your new home before your existing property has sold.

It works by using the equity in your current home to support the purchase, giving you the ability to secure your next property without needing to wait for your sale to be completed.

This type of lending is typically structured on a short-term, interest-only basis, with the expectation that the loan will be repaid once your existing property is sold. The interest rate is usually aligned with a standard variable (floating) rate.
Tide over finance can be a powerful tool to ensure you don’t miss out on a desired property, particularly in competitive markets. However, it’s important to have a clear plan and realistic expectations around your sale timeframe.

When structured correctly, it provides a smooth transition between homes and removes the pressure of having to align both transactions perfectly.
