Community Scheme FAQ’s

Here are some frequently asked questions or you can view more FAQs.

What types of community schemes can apply?

We service all types of registered community schemes including home owners or property scheme associations, complexes, estates, share block or sectional title schemes, retirement estates and housing co-operatives.

How much does a community scheme facility cost?

Bridgement charges a single, simple fee per withdrawal. This single fee is the total cost of finance and there are no other hidden costs involved. There are also no hidden costs such as fees to apply or ongoing monthly facility fees. Our pricing is completely transparent and quoted upfront – you will always know the exact cost of funding when using Bridgement. The rate you’re charged will depend on a number of risk based factors including the age of the community scheme, current financial situation and levy collection history. You’ll also qualify for a better rate the more you use your Bridgement facility and once you’ve built up a track record. View our pricing calculator to get a sense of what your rate could look like.
