Found the perfect new home? A Bridging Loan covers the time between buying a new property and settling on the sale of your existing one.
CommBank bridging loans have a maximum loan term of 12 months.
A Bridging Loan allows you to purchase a new home before finalising the sale of your existing one.
Avoid having to rent somewhere because you’ve sold your current home before finding a new one.
Within the term of your loan.
Save on interest while having access to your money by using an Everyday Offset account.*
Bridging loans have a maximum loan term of 12 months – so you need to sell and settle your current property within this timeframe.
A Bridging Loan is not available on all home loans, and you may incur some fees and charges depending on your loan type.
A Bridging Loan is generally an Interest Only loan for the 12-month period. The longer it takes you to sell your current home, the longer you’ll be charged interest on the bridging finance.
If you don’t sell your home in the agreed period, we may get involved to sell the property. We may also charge you a default interest rate above the annual percentage rate applying at the time. You may be better off asking for an extended settlement period or selling your existing home first.
For more information, you can refer to our guide on Bridging Loans.
