Bridging loans are not standard home loans. The wrong structure can increase risk, interest costs, or repayment pressure.
When comparing bridging finance, consider:
Loan term flexibility
Capitalised vs monthly interest
Exit strategy requirements
Valuation method
Policy differences between lenders
The interest rate alone does not determine the best outcome — the structure does.
What Happens When You Go Direct to a Bank?
When you approach your existing bank, you receive:
One bridging policy
One maximum timeframe (often 6 months)
One servicing model
One interest structure
One valuation approach
If their policy fits, it can work.
If it doesn’t, your only option is to adjust your strategy — not the structure.
Banks must ensure a product is not unsuitable.
Bridging loan approval depends heavily on lender policy — and those policies vary more than most borrowers realise.
The right structure can reduce risk, improve approval strength, and protect your End Debt position.
Lender terms vary — some limit bridging finance to 6 months, others allow up to 12 months. In slower Tasmania property markets, duration flexibility can significantly reduce pressure.
Some lenders allow full interest capitalisation during the bridging period. Others require monthly repayments. The structure affects short-term cash flow and final End Debt.
Each lender applies different servicing models, assessment rates, and income buffers. Even with capitalised interest, Peak Debt must meet servicing policy.

Policy differences directly affect cash flow and total end debt.
Different lenders assess income, buffers and servicing differently.
