Hey there, glad you’re here. In the global real estate industry, success often depends on speed. The ability to act quickly when an opportunity arises can make all the difference between closing the deal and letting it slip away. That’s exactly where short-term lending in Singapore gives investors their edge: a flexible, fast-access tool designed to unlock liquidity when timing is everything.

Unlike traditional bank loans, which can take months, short-term or bridging loans in Singapore are designed for agility. They enable investors to move decisively, whether that means acquiring a property before funds are released from another sale or refinancing quickly to capitalize on a limited-time opportunity.

What Short-Term Lending Really Means

Short-term lending is a form of temporary financing that serves as a bridge between your current capital position and where it needs to be. Imagine it as a financial fast pass: instead of waiting in line for traditional approval, you get to the front and close on a deal. In Singapore, this often takes the form of bridging loans or asset-based lending, where funding is secured against an existing property or other tangible assets. It’s ideal for investors who are asset-rich but need quick liquidity for high-value opportunities.

For example, the Global Mortgage Group (GMG) specialises in fast-turnaround property financing that helps investors secure assets before long-term mortgages are finalised, often in as little as 72 hours, as one industry report from the Singapore Business Channel shows.

Why Singapore Investors Are Turning to Short-Term Finance

Singapore’s property market remains one of Asia’s most dynamic, driven by high liquidity, international investor demand, and a robust regulatory framework under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). But fast-moving opportunities often require immediate capital,  and traditional bank financing doesn’t always keep pace.

That’s why savvy investors are increasingly using short-term property finance in Singapore to bridge gaps between transactions. Whether you’re waiting for funds from an overseas property sale or refinancing a luxury condo, short-term loans provide flexibility and speed that standard mortgages can’t match. A recent industry snapshot reveals that luxury home sales and sales volumes are rebounding strongly, even in challenging markets. 

Here are a couple of benefits that stand out:

• Speed and flexibility that align with deal-chaining or quick turnarounds.
• Asset-based underwriting means the focus is often more on property value than on long income histories.

Key Features of Short-Term Lending in Singapore

Let’s break down what to watch:

• Loan-to-Value (LTV): Because the loan is short-term and higher risk, many lenders will require the property to have strong collateral value. For example, some providers offer up to 70-75% LTV in asset-based scenarios.
• Interest rate & fees: Typically higher than long-term mortgages because you’re paying for speed and flexibility. For example, the interest rate for a bridging loan is currently 7%, but it may change as global interest rates fluctuate.
• Tenure: Often just a few months (sometimes up to six or 12 months) for bridging property transactions. As one guide explains, these loans are interim solutions that must be repaid once the expected sale or refinance happens.
• Exit strategy: The lender will want to see how you plan to repay the loan, such as through the sale of another property or refinancing. Without a clear exit strategy, the risk increases.
• Collateral & structure: Typically, a first charge (or lien) on Singapore real estate, which can include landed properties, condominiums, good-class bungalows, semi-detached properties, commercial properties, hotels, and even JTC properties.

Here’s how these features translate into practice:

• You find a property in Singapore with a tight timeline, and your funds are tied up elsewhere → a bridging loan unlocks the opportunity.
• You secure the property using your existing property or asset as collateral, and plan to refinance to a bank mortgage within a short term.
• You pay the higher rate for the short period but get the deal. Then you exit via sale, refinance, or reposition the asset.

When Should You Use Short-Term Lending — And When Not?

Use it when:

• You have a time-sensitive opportunity (e.g., property auction or urgent acquisition).
• You already own an asset or have a clear pipeline to repay (such as the sale of another property or refinancing).
• You are comfortable with the higher cost in exchange for speed and flexibility.

Avoid it when:

• You're uncertain about the exit. If you don't have a clear sale or refinancing plan, you may get trapped.
• The cost of the loan outweighs the benefit of the opportunity. Do the math.
• You treat it like long-term debt. These are short-term tools, not long-haul financing.

A smart question to ask yourself: What’s my exit strategy if this deal takes longer than anticipated? If you can’t answer that clearly, you should pause or choose a slower financing route.

Integrating Short-Term Lending Into Your Smart-Investor Toolbox

Here’s how to make it work as part of your overall financing strategy:

1. Identify the opportunity where speed or short-term flexibility gives you an edge.
2. Vet the financing: check cost, LTV, tenure, repayment terms, collateral, and exit strategy.
3. Execute quickly, with contingency plans in place for potential delays at the exit.

Here are some practical tasks:

• Prepare your property assets so they’re ready for collateral (clear titles, valuations, etc).
• Map your exit route: sale of asset X by date Y, refinancing by date Z — build a buffer.
• Choose a lender experienced in asset-based and bridging finance, e.g., the team at GMG emphasises their network of lenders and speed of funding. 

When used correctly, bridging or short-term loans let you seize opportunities while your competition is still waiting for bank approval. It provides optionality, but only if the strategy is well-structured.

Final Reflection

In today’s global property landscape, short-term lending in Singapore isn’t just a fallback option; it’s a strategic play. The investors who thrive are the ones who understand when to deploy it.

If you’re considering a new acquisition, refinancing, or simply want to unlock liquidity from your assets, explore how GMG’s global lending solutions can support your next move.

A Comprehensive Guide to Bridge Loans for All Singapore Property Types

Need fast property financing in Singapore? A Singapore bridging loan (also known as a bridge loan) provides immediate capital to “bridge” the gap between your short-term funding need and your longer-term financial plan.

Whether you’re purchasing a new home before selling the old one, funding a property development, or seizing an investment opportunity, a bridging loan in Singapore delivers speed, certainty, and high loan-to-value (LTV) financing that traditional bank mortgages can’t match.

What Is a Singapore Bridging Loan?

A bridging loan is a short-term, asset-based financing solution that uses your property’s value as collateral. Unlike standard bank mortgages that depend on income verification and TDSR (Total Debt Servicing Ratio) limits, bridging loans offer fast approvals, no income documentation, and flexibility for all borrower profiles — including self-employed, retirees, and investors.

Key Advantages of Singapore Bridging Loans

Core Advantage	Bridging Loan Focus	Traditional Bank Mortgage Focus
1. Speed & Certainty	Approval in 24–48 hours, funding within 5–10 days	4–8 week approval with long underwriting
2. High Loan-to-Value (LTV)	Up to 70–80% of property value	Lower LTV based on age and income
3. Flexible Approval Criteria	Focus on property value and exit strategy	Requires full income and TDSRverification

This asset-based approach means no age limits, no payslips, no CPF statements, and no TDSR assessment. Your property’s value and your exit plan determine approval.

Singapore Bridging Loan Interest Rate: 7% p.a. Interest-Only Structure

Most Singapore bridging loans offer a competitive 7% per annum interest-only rate, typically with a 1–2 year term. This is an indicative rate today (Nov 1, 2025) and subject to change as interest rates change over time. 

Benefits of the Interest-Only Structure

• Lower Monthly Payments: Only interest is paid monthly, preserving cash flow.
• No TDSR Burden: Your income is not assessed, and debt ratios are irrelevant.
• Ideal for Seniors: No age-based restrictions or shortened amortization.
• Balloon Payment at Maturity: Repay the principal at the end via your exit strategy.

Why 7% Is Competitive: While slightly higher than bank rates, bridging loans offer 10x faster approval, no TDSR, no age limits, and the ability to capture time-sensitive opportunities.

Loan Amount	Monthly Interest-Only Payment (at 7% p.a.)
S$500,000	S$2,917/month
S$1,000,000	S$5,833/month
S$5,000,000	S$29,167/month

When to Use a Bridging Loan in Singapore

Bridging loans are ideal when speed and capital access are critical. Common applications include:

• Property Purchase Before Sale: Secure a new home before selling the current one.
• Investment Opportunities: Meet cash-buyer terms or capture discounted deals.
• Property Development & Construction: Fund land acquisition or project completion.
• Business Working Capital: Raise capital using property assets.
• Debt Consolidation: Refinance multiple high-interest loans.
• Equity Release: Unlock significant equity from existing properties fast.

Repayment Planning: Your Exit Strategy

Since bridging loans are interest-only, your Exit Strategy—how you’ll repay the full loan principal—is key to approval.

Common Exit Strategies:

• Property Sale (Most Common): Repay using proceeds from the property sale.
• Refinancing to Bank Loan: Transition to a long-term mortgage once conditions improve.
• Liquidity Event: Repay via business sale, investment maturity, inheritance, or en-bloc payout.

Singapore Bridging Loan Parameters and Requirements

Interest Rate	7% per annum, interest-only (as of Nov1, 2025 - subject to change)
Loan Amount	S$500,000 – S$50 million+
Loan-to-Value (LTV)	Up to 70–80% (value-based)
Loan Term	1–2 years (extensions available)
Fees	1% Lender Fee + 1–2% GMG Success Fee
Approval Time	24–48 hours
Required Documents	NRIC/Passport, Exit Strategy, Bank Statements (AML)

Eligible Properties

All Singapore property types qualify for bridging finance:

• Residential: Condominium, Landed, GCB, Shophouse
• Commercial & Industrial Units
• Development Land and Construction Projects

Approval is based on property value, not borrower profile.

Example: How Bridging Finance Accelerates Opportunity

Scenario:
You find a discounted investment condo but haven’t sold your existing home. A bridging loan provides up to 80% of the purchase price in days, allowing you to secure the deal. Once your current home sells, the proceeds repay the bridge loan.

Result: You avoid missing out on a rare property deal and unlock capital with no TDSR restrictions.

Exclusive Access to Asia's Most Promising Private Credit Segment 

I wanted to personally share an exciting development that I believe will be of significant interest to you and your investment strategy in Asia.

Why I'm Launching GMG Advisory

After years of building Global Mortgage Group and executing over $400 million in high-value bridging finance deals the past 2 years in Singapore alone, I've identified a massive gap in Asia's financing landscape that presents exceptional opportunities for sophisticated investors like yourself.

THE MIDDLE MARKET

Companies needing $15-100 million in capital—represents the backbone of Asia's growth story. Yet these businesses consistently face limited access to appropriately structured financing. They're too large for traditional SME lending but below the scale that attracts major institutional project finance.

This is exactly where I see the greatest opportunity for our clients.

Bringing Wall Street Standards to Asia's Middle Market

My experience in senior investment banking roles at the world’s largest investment banks taught me that institutional-grade execution and analytical frameworks can unlock extraordinary value. I'm now applying these same rigorous standards—typically reserved for hundred million transactions—to the $15-100 million segment through GMG Advisory, a sub-division of Global Mortgage Group.

"The middle market is the backbone of Asia's growth, yet it continues to face limited access to appropriately structured financing. By focusing on the $15–100 million range, and leveraging both our real estate expertise and my global investment banking experience, we are strategically positioned to help dynamic businesses unlock capital, accelerate expansion, and capture new market opportunities."

Beyond Real Estate: A Diversified Approach That Makes Sense

While we've built our reputation on real estate expertise, GMG Advisory expands strategically into opportunities where real estate remains a vital component. Many of Asia's most dynamic growth opportunities maintain real estate elements through collateral structures, mixed-use developments, or project-linked assets.

As I noted in our recent press release: "While GMG Advisory remains rooted in its strong real estate focus, the firm is increasingly identifying opportunities across other industries. Many of these opportunities maintain a real estate component—whether through collateral structures, mixed-use development, or project-linked assets—highlighting the interconnected nature of financing in Asia's evolving growth landscape."

This approach provides the portfolio diversification that I know many of you seek, while maintaining the tangible asset backing that has served our clients well.

Why This Opportunity Is Perfectly Timed

Asia's mid-market financing needs are exploding. "Asia's mid-market financing needs are expected to grow significantly as companies scale to meet increasing domestic demand and expand into international markets."

Meanwhile, traditional banks continue tightening credit standards across the region. This creates a perfect storm of opportunity for alternative capital providers who can offer sophisticated structuring and execution.

What This Means for Your Portfolio

For our family office and private banking clients, GMG Advisory offers several compelling advantages:

Institutional-Grade Due Diligence: I'm applying the same analytical rigor I used at major investment banks to every transaction—enhanced due diligence and risk assessment that this segment has historically lacked.

Flexible Structuring: We create tailored financing strategies that align with your specific risk profiles and return requirements—the kind of sophisticated structuring you expect.

Optimal Scale: The $15-100 million range is perfect for substantial portfolios—meaningful enough to move the needle, yet manageable enough for thorough analysis and oversight.

Singapore Hub Advantages: Our Singapore base provides optimal regulatory framework and financial infrastructure for accessing pan-Asian opportunities while maintaining international market connectivity.

First-Mover Positioning: With global private credit giants increasingly turning to Asia, early positioning through an established platform with proven investment banking expertise offers significant advantages.

The Market Context You Should Know

While banks still dominate Asian credit markets (79% versus just 33% in the US), this dynamic is shifting rapidly. Asia continues driving over 50% of global GDP growth while public debt markets remain underdeveloped—creating a structural opportunity for private credit solutions.

"We see enormous potential in helping companies that are ready for the next stage of growth but are constrained by limited access to capital. Our heritage in real estate gives us a unique edge, and we're excited to extend that expertise into adjacent opportunities where real estate remains a vital component."

My Team-Building Approach

I'm deliberately constructing a world-class team that combines investment banking protocol from the world’s largest financial institutions with deep local market knowledge. This creates the unique value proposition that our sophisticated clients deserve—institutional-grade execution without bureaucratic constraints.

Next Steps for Interested Clients

If you're interested in exploring how GMG Advisory can enhance your Asian investment strategy, I'd welcome a direct conversation about specific opportunities and how they might fit your portfolio objectives.

Given our existing relationship and your investment sophistication, you'll have priority access to our deal flow and structuring capabilities.

I'm always available for a direct conversation about how these opportunities might align with your investment goals.

Best regards,

Donald Klip
Founder, Global Mortgage Group & GMG Advisory

P.S. As always, I appreciate your continued trust in our platform. GMG Advisory represents the natural evolution of our relationship—bringing institutional-grade private credit opportunities to the clients who have supported our growth in the real estate financing space.

Common International Bridging Loan Scenarios

Scenario 1: The London Auction Opportunity

A lucrative investment property appears at a London auction with a 28-day completion requirement. London bridging finance enables you to meet the deadline and secure the deal before traditional mortgage approval would be possible.

Scenario 2: The Australian Development Project

You're a developer who's identified prime land in Sydney's growing Western suburbs but need immediate capital. Sydney bridge financing provides the speed required to close before competing buyers, with refinancing to traditional development finance later.

Scenario 3: The American Renovation Flip

You've found an undervalued property in Miami requiring extensive renovations. Miami bridging loans fund both the purchase and renovation costs, with repayment upon the improved property's sale at significant profit.

Scenario 4: The Canadian Portfolio Expansion

As a landlord with equity in Toronto properties, you want to acquire cash-flowing rentals in Vancouver without selling Eastern assets. Canadian bridge loans unlock your equity for new investments while maintaining your existing portfolio.

Scenario 5: The Cross-Border Chain

You're relocating from Hong Kong to Australia and need to purchase a Sydney home before selling your Hong Kong apartment. International bridging finance eliminates timing stress and prevents temporary housing arrangements.

Scenario 6: The Thai Investment Opportunity

A Bangkok condo in a prime location becomes available at a distressed price requiring immediate purchase. Thailand bridge loans provide fast capital to secure the undervalued asset.

Scenario 7: The Irish Development Flip

You've identified a Dublin property requiring conversion from commercial to residential use. Ireland bridging finance funds acquisition and planning costs while you secure development permissions and long-term finance.

Bridging Loan Requirements

While each country has specific requirements, typical international bridge loan qualifications include:

Property Requirements:

• Clear property title and ownership
• Marketable property with good resale potential
• Professional property valuation from recognized valuers
• Adequate equity or deposit (typically 20-40% depending on country)
• Suitable property type (residential, commercial, or development)

Borrower Requirements:

• Clear exit strategy for loan repayment
• Demonstrated ability to service loan payments
• Acceptable credit history in home country
• Proof of income, assets, or liquidity
• Legal capacity to own property in target country

Documentation:

• Property purchase agreement or valuation
• Government-issued identification documents
• Proof of funds for deposit/equity contribution
• Exit strategy documentation (sale agreements, mortgage offers, refinancing capability)
• Bank statements and financial records
• Legal entity documents (if applicable)

Contact our global bridging finance specialists to discuss your requirements, property details, target country, and timing needs.

2. Fast Assessment (Days 1-2)

4. Legal Process (Days 3-10)
Our international legal partners expedite documentation across jurisdictions while you focus on securing your property.

5. Quick Funding (Days 7-14)
Funds are released rapidly in the appropriate currency, enabling you to complete your property transaction on schedule.

6. Flexible Exit

Bridging Loan Costs and Rates by Market

International bridging finance costs vary by country and risk profile:

Interest Rates (Monthly) - Indicative Only:

• USA: 0.75% - 1.5% per month 
• Canada: 0.8% - 1.5% per month 
• UK: 0.65% - 1.25% per month

Additional Costs:

• Arrangement Fees: 1-3% of loan amount
• Legal Fees: For loan documentation and property work (varies by country)
• Valuation Fees: Professional property assessment costs
• Foreign Exchange Costs: For cross-border transactions
• Exit Fees: Typically none with our bridging products

Despite higher rates than traditional mortgages, international bridge loans prove highly cost-effective when:

• Securing properties at below-market prices
• Avoiding missed time-sensitive investment opportunities

• Enabling profitable renovations and flips
