When to use a bridging loan as a pensioner

One of the most common reasons for pensioners to use a bridging loan is for downsizing.

Many pensioners who own their own home choose to sell up and move to a smaller property, more appropriate to their needs and a bridging loan can help to facilitate this.

Using a bridging loan, pensioners can buy a new smaller property before selling their current one, allowing them to secure the ideal new home when they find it. It also allows more time for the move, resulting in a smoother, less stressful transition.

Pensioners also frequently use bridging loans to provide a temporary solution for paying care home fees. They are often used where the plan is to sell their home to cover the fees but they want to buy more time to make a more advantageous sale.
