Short-term, property-backed business finance for eligible settlement shortfalls, delayed bank approvals and purchase-to-sale timing gaps—structured around the security, deadline and a verified repayment exit.
For an eligible business-purpose transaction, funding may be advanced against available equity in a property that is genuinely listed for sale. The expected net sale proceeds can form the repayment exit while the urgent settlement proceeds now.
This can help when a purchase settlement falls before the sale of another asset, or when capital is required while a documented sale campaign is underway.
A fixed deadline needs calm triage: what must be paid, what security is available, how quickly the evidence can be verified and exactly how the facility will be repaid.
A bank approval or settlement process has stalled and an eligible commercial borrower needs a credible replacement pathway.
The new property must settle before another property sells, with sufficient verified equity supporting a short-term bridge.
A valuation change, lender reduction or unexpected transaction cost has created a measurable gap that the borrower can responsibly exit.
An unconditional or short-dated contract requires finance that matches the deadline and leaves enough time for valuation, legal work and documents.
A maturing or recalled facility may be refinanced where security, serviceability and the repayment strategy meet lender requirements.
Eligible equity may support a documented business requirement while a sale, refinance or other credible exit progresses.
The facilities can overlap, but the primary problem determines which page—and which evidence—should lead the assessment.
Start here when an executed contract, settlement statement or formal notice creates a specific amount and date that must be met.
Use the broader bridging pathway when temporary capital connects a current commercial requirement with a planned property sale, refinance or project milestone.
Where they overlap: a purchase-before-sale transaction may be both urgent settlement finance and commercial bridging finance. We classify it by the immediate contractual problem, then test the complete debt position and repayment exit.
Urgency does not remove credit, valuation, fraud, legal or responsible-lending checks. It makes accurate information and fast responses more important.
The required evidence depends on the transaction. These are the questions that usually determine whether a lender can proceed.
| Credit question | Evidence that helps | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| What must settle? | Executed contract, settlement statement, deposit evidence, deadline and solicitor or conveyancer details | Confirms the transaction, amount and time available. |
| What is the security worth? | Current valuation, property details, title search, existing loan statements and payout figures | Determines accepted value, priority and available equity. |
| Is a property listed for sale? | Agency agreement, campaign links, price guide, inspection activity, offers and comparable sales | Supports sale intent, timing and the reasonableness of the exit. |
| What are the net sale proceeds? | Expected sale price less mortgages, selling costs, taxes and other commitments | The exit must be based on recoverable net proceeds, not the headline price. |
| What if timing changes? | Extended term capacity, refinance alternative, price contingency and interest provision | A second way out protects the borrower and lender if the first exit is delayed. |
We work backwards from the deadline, identify the critical path and avoid wasting time on options that do not fit the security or exit.
Confirm the settlement date, purpose, shortfall, security, existing debt and borrower authority.
Test the sale or refinance exit, net equity and contingency before seeking a lender pathway.
Compare fit, leverage, pricing, term, conditions and legal requirements. An indication is not approval.
Coordinate valuation, due diligence, loan documents, solicitor work and cleared settlement conditions.
Potentially, yes, for an eligible business-purpose transaction. A lender may advance against verified available equity while the property is actively listed, using expected net sale proceeds as the exit. Assessment commonly includes valuation, existing debt, mortgage priority, the agency agreement, campaign evidence, buyer interest, selling costs and a contingency if the sale is delayed.
Leverage is assessed case by case using accepted value, property type and location, security priority, existing debt, borrower position, serviceability or interest provision, sale evidence, exit and lender criteria. The resulting structure may be lower than the amount requested.
Timing depends on the lender, valuation, legal work, complete documents and cleared conditions. A straightforward, well-prepared file can move faster than an incomplete one, but no funding time or settlement outcome can be guaranteed. Contact us as soon as a timing issue becomes apparent.
It may provide a short-term replacement for an eligible business-purpose transaction if the security, amount, credit position and exit meet lender requirements. We need the contract, deadline, bank position, shortfall and available security to assess possible pathways.
Acceptable residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use or land security may be considered for a genuine business-purpose facility. Property type, location, condition, planning, valuation and marketability affect lender appetite and maximum leverage.
The short-term facility is repaid through the agreed exit, commonly sale proceeds or refinance. The exit should be documented before funding and include enough time, equity and contingency for delays, lower sale proceeds or changed refinance conditions.
The fastest useful first conversation is factual. Tell us what must settle, when, how much is required, what property supports the request and whether a property is already listed for sale.
