Bridging Finance FAQs

Bridging finance is a short-term funding solution that allows you to access a portion of confirmed incoming proceeds, such as a property sale, commission, insurance payout, or other receivables, before the funds are officially released. It provides immediate liquidity when timing is critical.

RMC Bridging advances funds based on a secured and verified transaction. Once we confirm the pending proceeds and receive the required documents, we provide an advance, which is repaid directly from the final payout by the conveyancer or responsible party.

The required documents depend on the type of advance, but generally include:

• A signed sale agreement or proof of confirmed proceeds.
• Guarantees or payout confirmations from the financial institution or insurer.
• Relevant municipal or levy clearance information, where applicable.
  These documents are submitted along with the conveyancer or attorney’s undertakings so that the advance can be processed quickly.

Clients typically qualify for up to 80% of the verified proceeds, depending on the stage of the transaction and the supporting documentation already in place. Final amounts are determined once all details are reviewed.

Once all compliance checks are completed and the required documents are in order, funding can be released on the same day, often within hours. Our goal is to move as quickly as the transaction allows.

Costs vary depending on the value of the advance and the expected duration of the loan. RMC Bridging offers competitive, transparent interest rates and fees. Contact us for a personalised quote. No obligation, no hidden charges.

Repayment happens automatically. When the transaction pays out (for example, once the property transfer registers), the conveyancer or responsible institution deducts the advance amount and fees, and transfers them directly back to RMC Bridging. The balance is then paid to you.

If unexpected delays occur, we will work with you and the conveyancer to resolve the matter. In cases where the proceeds do not materialise, the client remains responsible for repayment. We encourage open communication so we can explore alternative arrangements if needed.

No. Bridging finance is based on the strength and validity of the underlying transaction, not your personal credit rating. As long as the proceeds are confirmed and the documentation is in order, your credit history is not a deciding factor.

Absolutely. We support individuals, property professionals, and businesses needing temporary access to capital while awaiting confirmed receivables or delayed payments.
