What is a second mortgage for Value unlock?
A second mortgage sits behind your existing first mortgage. It uses the equity you’ve built in a residential or commercial property to release new capital, without refinancing your main facility. You keep your banking relationships intact, avoid resetting long-term loans, and access a focused, short-term solution to bridge a gap or fund a specific opportunity.
When does a second mortgage make sense?
- Urgent settlement on a property, business, or investment where timing is tight
- Bridging working capital during a sale, refinance, or capital raise
- Paying tax or creditor obligations to preserve momentum
- Stock purchases, fit-outs, renovations, or equipment upgrades that can’t wait
- Development holding costs or DA-related expenses while you finalise takeout finance
- Consolidating smaller, expensive liabilities into one structured facility
Benefits of using a second mortgage for Value unlock
- Speed and certainty: We prioritise same day settlement where documents, title, and consents are ready, and funding within 24 hours on straightforward deals. That helps you meet an urgent settlement or secure pricing advantages.
- Keep your first mortgage: No need to refinance your main facility. You maintain existing terms while unlocking embedded asset value for short-term needs.
- Purpose-built flexibility: Funds can be used for business or investment purposes, including bridging loans and secured business loans, with a clear exit strategy.
- Scalable: Depending on equity and scenario, you can borrow up to $10 million, structured to your timeline.
- Streamlined process: Focused due diligence on the property, equity position, and exit. Less friction, more momentum.
- Outcome-focused: Use the capital where it matters, then exit cleanly via sale proceeds, refinance, or operating cash flow.

- Confirm: Clear terms, fees, and an interest rate of 11.95% where appropriate to your scenario.

Private lender, Australia wide
As a private lender in Australia and a non-bank lender, we operate nationwide across Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Canberra. If you need a second mortgage, bridging loans, or secured business loans on an urgent or emergency timeline, we can move quickly, with direct decision-makers and a streamlined credit process. That means fewer handoffs, less waiting, and more control over your settlement date.
What we look for
- Strong security: We accept residential or commercial property as collateral/security. We don’t accept other obscure assets as collateral.
- Sufficient equity: Enough headroom after the first mortgage to support the second mortgage and transaction costs.
- Clear exit: Sale, refinance, or predictable cash flow that retires the facility on time.
- Business or investment purpose: Many borrowers use second mortgages to fund growth, cover short-term obligations, or manage a bridging period until a larger event completes.
Cost, term, and expectations
A second mortgage is a short-term, outcome-driven solution. It typically costs more than long-term bank debt because it’s designed for speed and flexibility. We’re upfront about costs and timing. Where suitable, an interest rate of 11.95% may apply, and we always present the full picture before you commit. The goal is simple: align cost with value, preserve your main facilities, and keep your options open.
Real-world use cases we support
- Acquire stock at a discount when suppliers offer limited-time terms
- Cover tax or GST obligations to maintain clean financials ahead of a refinance
- Complete renovations or fit-out to uplift asset value before sale
- Bridge to settlement on a new asset while an existing property is selling
- Fund professional fees and approvals that unlock project value
Why this approach works
You’re leveraging embedded asset value you already own. Instead of disturbing your primary bank relationship or missing a window, you draw on a targeted second mortgage, execute the plan, and exit once the catalyst—sale, refinance, or cash event—lands. It’s practical capital, applied with discipline and speed.
