What Is Bridging Finance?

Bridging Finance is a short-term advance against your expected property sale proceeds. It gives you access to funds before transfer registration, helping you cover necessary expenses that may otherwise delay the sale. Once the property transfer is registered, the advance is simply repaid from your sale proceeds.
