Why banks may decline bridging finance.

Bank bridging finance can be difficult when the borrower does not fit standard policy. Private lenders can consider some bank-declined scenarios differently, subject to security, equity, LVR and exit strategy.

Common bank decline reasons

  • Insufficient servicing across both properties
  • Limited income or retirement income
  • Incomplete financials or tax returns
  • Complex self-employed income
  • Property type or location outside policy
  • Settlement timeframe too urgent

Private lenders focus more on:

  • Property security and available equity
  • Loan-to-value ratio
  • Clear repayment exit strategy
  • Sale or refinance pathway
  • Short-term loan structure
  • Urgency and settlement timing
