Buy now, sell later finance lets you secure the next property on your own timeline - without rushing the sale of your current one, missing out on the right buy, or losing the deal to someone with cash already in hand. The loan is secured against the equity in your existing property and repaid when that property sells.

How Buy Now, Sell Later Works

The structure is simple. Commercial Property Funding lends against the equity in your current property - the property you intend to sell. Those funds are used to settle on the new property. When the existing property sells, the bridging loan is repaid in full from the sale proceeds.

Because the loan is secured against the property you're selling rather than the one you're buying, the new purchase is unencumbered by CPF - making it cleaner to refinance to a long-term lender, or to simply own outright once the sale completes. Interest is capitalised into the loan amount, so no monthly repayments are required during the bridging period.

Assessment is asset-led. We focus on the equity available in the existing property, the strength of the deal, and a clear exit strategy - typically the sale of the existing property within the loan term. Tax returns and full serviceability reviews aren't required.

frequently asked questions

Buy now, sell later finance lets you settle on a new property before selling your existing one. A short-term bridging loan is secured against the equity in your current property and repaid in full when that property sells - giving you the flexibility to buy on your terms without waiting for a sale to complete first.

No. The loan is secured against your existing property - the one you're selling - not the new one you're purchasing. This keeps the new property unencumbered by CPF, making it straightforward to refinance to a long-term lender or own outright once the existing property sells.

No monthly debt servicing is required. Interest is capitalised into the loan amount and repaid in full at the end of the term when the existing property settles.

Loan terms run from six to twelve months, which gives most vendors sufficient time to achieve a market sale. If the property hasn't sold within the term, we work with borrowers on an extension or alternative exit. A realistic and credible exit strategy is assessed upfront as part of the approval process.

Not necessarily. Many borrowers use buy now, sell later finance before listing - specifically to avoid the pressure of a simultaneous campaign. What matters is a credible plan to sell the existing property within the loan term and sufficient equity in the property to support the facility.

A no-cost, no-obligation Letter of Offer can be issued within 48 hours of a complete submission. Settlement typically follows within seven days of executed loan documents - fast enough for most purchase contracts and auction settlements.
