Why private bridging finance may suit bad credit scenarios.

Bad credit, defaults or arrears can cause problems with standard lenders even where there is strong property security. Private lenders can assess some bad credit bridging scenarios differently, subject to security, equity, LVR, loan purpose and exit strategy.

Common bad credit finance needs

  • Bank declined due to credit score or conduct
  • Defaults, judgments or arrears need to be addressed
  • Urgent settlement or refinance timing
  • Need to clear debt before sale or refinance
  • Complex borrower history or impaired credit file
  • Exit depends on sale or refinance

Private lenders focus more on:

  • Property security and available equity
  • Loan-to-value ratio
  • Nature of the credit issue
  • Purpose of funds
  • Clear sale or refinance exit
  • Short-term bridging structure
