Yes, we handle this situation every month. In Geneva, properties are scarce: our clients sell and search at the same time, and the order of the two cannot always be chosen. The bank bridges the gap with bridging finance (also called a bridging loan or bridge loan), repaid at the notary's as soon as the sale goes through. Its duration depends on a single variable: the price. A property valued at the fair market price generally sells within three months. So everything starts with the valuation. In twenty years of chain sales, we have always found a solution. Talk to a broker before committing: a valuation is confidential and carries no obligation.
