Moving – Need some Cash?
Are you moving house or flat and need some extra cash to make the move easier?
When you’re moving houses there’s a number of different expenses that have to be accounted for. So finding the money for the bond is always a big ask. Your old bond typically can’t be transferred straight away, so you need the money to get you through until it is released.
All up, moving house can be quite an expensive exercise, so that’s where our Bond & Moving Loans come in, and they are easy to apply for online.
Use the money to pay for:
- Moving truck or van
- Bond
- Rent in advance
- New appliances
- Rugs, door stoppers, heaters and the like
- etc
