Structure
A second mortgage is registered on your property title behind your existing first mortgage. Your bank facility stays exactly where it is — same lender, same rate, same repayments — and we lend against the equity sitting above their debt. There is no refinance, no break costs, and no need to disturb a facility you want to keep.
Because we rank behind the first mortgagee, second mortgages are priced above first mortgage funding and generally run on shorter terms, typically one to twelve months with interest capitalised. The exit is usually a refinance of the whole position back to mainstream lending, or a sale.
Combined loan-to-value ratios up to around 80% are considered, depending on the property type and location. In practice, the question is how much equity sits above the first mortgage and whether the exit clears both facilities comfortably.
Assessment
Our credit assessment turns on three things: the security property, the amount you need against it, and how the loan will be repaid. We form a view on the value of the asset, the position we would hold on title, and whether your exit — a sale, a refinance, or a defined cash event — is realistic within the term you are asking for.
What we do not do is run your application through a servicing calculator. Tax returns, BAS statements and credit scores are not the centre of the decision, which is why borrowers who are declined by banks for reasons that have nothing to do with the strength of the deal are often funded here. Impaired credit, outstanding ATO debt, recent business restructures and limited financials are all workable.
Applications are reviewed on the day they arrive by the people who write the loans. You will have a decision within 24 hours, terms disclosed in full before you commit, and one point of contact through to discharge.
Use Cases
Clearing ATO arrears before enforcement escalates is the single most common reason business owners come to us, and property equity is usually the fastest path to resolving it. Second mortgages are also used for working capital, funding a time-sensitive opportunity, completing a project where costs have run over, and consolidating expensive short-term debt into one secured facility.
The common thread is that the borrower has real equity but cannot access it through a bank — either because servicing tests fail, because there is adverse credit or tax debt on file, or simply because the timeframe does not allow for a bank process.
Getting Started
A complete submission fits on a page. We need the security address and property type, your estimate of its value and the basis for it, any debt currently secured against it, the amount you are seeking, and a clear statement of how and when the loan repays.
Beyond that, a few sentences of honest context about the transaction helps more than a stack of documents. Anything adverse — defaults, arrears, tax debt, disputes — is far better disclosed at the outset than discovered at settlement. It rarely stops a deal; late discovery frequently does.
Supporting documents such as rates notices, payout figures, valuations, contracts of sale and, for development files, build contracts and cost plans, can be uploaded directly with your application to speed up assessment.
FAQ
For a registered second mortgage the first mortgagee is generally asked to consent, which can add time. Where a deadline does not allow for that, a caveat facility is often the faster alternative and does not require their consent.
A registered second mortgage appears on the property title, so it is visible. This does not typically affect your existing facility provided you continue meeting its terms.
Enough that the combined debt stays within a sensible ratio to the property value — generally up to around 80%. The more equity above the first mortgage, the more flexibility there is on amount, term and pricing.
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons for these facilities. Outstanding tax debt is treated as a problem to be solved rather than a reason to decline, provided the property supports the loan and the exit is credible.
A second mortgage is registered on title and generally supports larger amounts and longer terms. A caveat is a notice lodged on title, is faster to put in place because it does not require the first mortgagee's consent, and suits shorter, more urgent facilities.
Most borrowers exit by refinancing the whole position to a mainstream lender once the underlying issue is resolved, or through the sale of the property or another asset. We work through the exit with you at assessment rather than leaving it to chance.
