Everyone in the Chain Feels the Delay
South Africa’s real estate process is notoriously slow. Property transfers can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks, sometimes longer. And while the paperwork moves at its own pace, people are left in limbo.
Sellers can’t move forward. Agents can’t access their commission. Conveyancers deal with frustrated clients.
That’s where bridging finance becomes a powerful tool to create momentum and ease pressure across the entire real estate value chain.
At London Bridge Finance, we exist to serve this chain exclusively. Here’s how we help each role keep the deal and life, moving.
For Property Sellers: Free Up Cash to Move Forward
Selling a property is often the gateway to a life change: downsizing, relocating, settling debts, or buying again. But while you wait for transfer, your money is locked in the system.
Bridging finance helps sellers:
- Access a portion of their expected proceeds upfront
- Pay for movers, deposits, debt clearance, or new purchases
- Reduce stress and avoid borrowing at high interest
Use Case: A retired couple sells their home to move closer to family, but needs bridging to secure their new place before funds clear.
With London Bridge Finance, sellers can unlock what’s already theirs and start living their next chapter sooner.
For Estate Agents: Keep Cashflow Strong and Momentum High
In real estate, commission is earned the moment the deal is signed. But that doesn’t mean it lands in your bank account.
Agents often wait weeks or months for transfers to conclude. Meanwhile, marketing costs, transport, bills, and new deals don’t wait.
Our commission advance solution enables agents to:
- Access up to 80% of their commission within 48 hours
- Fund new listings, advertising, and team costs
- Keep a healthy pipeline without cashflow anxiety
Use Case: An agent closes two large deals but needs working capital to fund marketing for new stock. A quick advance fuels their next close.
Bridging finance lets agents stay in momentum mode, not survival mode.
For Conveyancing Attorneys: Add Real Value to Clients
As a trusted advisor during the legal process, you hear your clients’ stress firsthand. Sellers need liquidity. Agents need cashflow. And everyone’s looking to you for answers.
By partnering with London Bridge Finance, conveyancers can:
- Refer a fast, ethical solution to their clients
- Reduce anxiety and friction in the transfer process
- Add value beyond legal work
Use Case: A seller panics about overlapping transfer dates. The conveyancer offers a bridging solution through LBF, easing pressure and reinforcing trust.
We work closely with legal teams to ensure fast disbursement and alignment with your timelines.
