    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could offer an advice on the following: I have done a BAD THING by wanting to put an offer in on a property, before selling my current property, I know this is a NO NO [:I], but the place is just what I am after and a good price.

    I have heard a bit about bridging finance – is this a terrible step or are there better options available?
    Your input would be greatly appreciated[:)]

    Cheers

    Hi Ginamarree,

    We used bridging finance a couple of years ago…

    It was something that I will never do again. I don’t think that I slept for about 2 weeks, until we sold our house.

    Don’t forget to ask how much the application fee will be for bridging finance. The application fee for us (at the time) was almost $3000!! RIPOFF..[8]

    Never, Never again (for me)[V]

    Good luck with your decision, my advise – try to avoid it. If it’s not too late, perhaps make your offer a really long settlement.

    Gina,

    Please get onto someone ASAP. Bridging finance isn’t as straightforward as a normal home loan.

    Surely if you have the income to service both debts it’s a lot easier than calling it bridging finance?

    Cheers
