Selling a property is exciting, but it comes with more costs than many sellers anticipate. Missing these expenses can create financial pressure while waiting for sale proceeds.
Here are five common expenses and how bridging finance can help.
1. Rates and Taxes
Municipal accounts must be up to date for the property transfer to proceed. Bridging finance allows you to settle these quickly, avoiding delays and penalties.
2. Compliance Certificates
Electrical, gas, and water compliance certificates are often required before transfer. These can be costly, but an advance from TBSG ensures you are covered.
3. Moving Costs
Packing, removals, storage, and cleaning fees can quickly add up. Bridging finance allows you to handle these expenses upfront, making your move smoother.
4. Transfer and Bond Fees on a New Property
If you’re buying another property, you’ll need funds to cover deposits, transfer fees, and bond registration. Bridging finance provides access to these funds, helping you manage overlapping property transactions.
5. Personal or Unexpected Expenses
Life is unpredictable. An advance from TBSG gives you flexibility to handle unplanned costs, from urgent repairs to short-term financial needs.
