Bridging Loan Secured For
Dream Lifestyle Block.
Last updated: July 2026
A couple bought their dream lifestyle property before selling their current home, using a bridging loan to secure the purchase without stress.
The problem.
The clients found their perfect next home in rural Waikato but hadn't sold their current Hamilton property.
In a highly competitive market, they needed to make a strong, unconditional offer immediately, or they would lose the lifestyle block to another buyer. They needed bridging finance, and they needed it fast.
How we solved it.
The result.
They secured the lifestyle block immediately with an unconditional offer.
They sold their original Hamilton property within 60 days at a premium price, settling the bridging facility quickly with minimal interest overlap.
"Without a bridging mortgage, we would have missed out on our forever home. Finch gave us the buying power we needed instantly to make a winning offer."— Emma & Chris, Waikato, Next Home Buyers
