Prime Residential Bridging Loan for Holland Road Property

Prime Residential Bridging Loan for Holland Road Property

Exclusive Semi-Detached Home in Prime District 10

Holland Road is one of Singapore’s most sought-after residential neighbourhoods, located in the heart of District 10. Known for its leafy surroundings, proximity to top schools, and easy access to Orchard Road and the CBD, it remains a favourite among discerning homeowners and investors alike. Many of the area’s semi-detached and detached homes command premium prices, reflecting the scarcity of landed properties within Singapore’s central region.

Client Requirement: Rapid Capital for Property Purchase

Our client, an accredited investor, required swift access to funds to complete the purchase of a semi-detached home valued at SGD 8.15 million. The buyer was in the midst of completing the sale of his company, but needed immediate liquidity to secure this prime asset. Conventional bank financing would have taken too long, risking the loss of the opportunity. To bridge this timing gap, the client turned to Rikvin Capital.

Understanding Bridging Loans for Prime Residential Properties

A bridging loan provides short-term financing to help buyers secure a property while awaiting proceeds from another source—such as the sale of a business or another property. This type of facility is ideal for high-net-worth individuals who value speed, flexibility, and certainty of execution.

Rikvin Capital’s bridging solutions are designed for Singapore’s dynamic property market and feature:

  • Fast Approvals – Indicative offers within 24 hours.
  • Flexible Terms – Loan durations from 3 to 24 months.
  • Competitive Pricing – Interest rates typically in the mid-teens range.
  • High Leverage – Up to 70 – 80 % Loan-to-Value (LTV).
  • Tailored Structures – Interest-only servicing and flexible repayment schedules.

These attributes make bridging loans a powerful tool for property investors who must act decisively in a competitive market.

Why Bridging Loans Matter in Singapore’s Prime Property Market

Singapore’s landed property market remains resilient, supported by limited supply and sustained local demand. Whether for Good Class Bungalows, semi-detached houses, or terrace homes, buyers often face short windows to secure high-value assets. Bridging loans provide the agility to act quickly—offering the financial flexibility to complete purchases without waiting for traditional bank processes.

FAQ

I am buying a prime residential property and waiting for a company sale to complete. Can you bridge the gap?

Yes. The Holland Road case here is exactly this scenario: an accredited investor needed $5.7 million to complete a SGD 8.15 million semi-detached home purchase while a company sale was finalising. We bridged the timing gap with an 18-month loan, exited via the company sale proceeds.

What loan-to-value can I get on a prime District 10 semi-detached home?

We typically lend up to 70% on Holland Road, Bukit Timah and other District 10 semi-detached and detached homes, as in this case (SGD 5.7 million on a SGD 8.15 million property). Higher amounts are sometimes possible on freehold landed for repeat clients.

How long does a prime residential bridge loan typically run?

Terms run from 3 to 24 months. The Holland Road case used 18 months to align with the expected company sale timeline. Shorter terms suit auction completions or quick onward sales; longer terms suit business-sale or refinance exits that take time to crystallise.
