What is a bridging loan?

A Kinox bridging loan uses equity in your New Zealand residential property to cover a short-term business funding gap while you wait for a property sale, refinance or project proceeds.

Borrow $50,000 to $1 million, for up to 12 months, with a combined LVR of up to 85%, including existing secured loans. Approval depends on your property and a clear repayment plan.

The loan is secured under a property security agreement, with a caveat protecting the lender’s interest on the title. Your solicitor will review any required lender consent and priority arrangements.

Short-term funding. For your next business move.

A clear plan to repay

Before you bridge, know where your repayment will come from—and when.

  • Property sale: Allow for your existing mortgage and selling costs.
  • Refinance: Confirm the lender’s requirements and allow time for approval and settlement.
  • Business income: Identify confirmed payments and allow for delays.

Know your costs. Plan for delays.

Review the total interest, fees and repayment terms in your offer, including potential costs if repayment is delayed.

Keep a backup plan and contact us early if your timing changes. Extensions require approval. Your property may be at risk if you cannot repay.

Short-term funding. A clear way forward.
