What a Second Mortgage Solves
A second mortgage is a new facility secured behind your existing mortgage over the same property. For Default remediation, it provides targeted, short-term funding to:
- Pay arrears and default interest to reinstate your account.
- Reduce balance or LVR to meet covenants and restore compliance.
- Replenish interest reserves so payments run on time.
- Clear ATO, council rates, or supplier arrears blocking refinance.
- Bridge timing to asset sale or refinance completion.
Why This Path Works
- Speed when the issue is urgent or an emergency: funding within 24 hours is possible once conditions are met.
- Protects the primary facility by fixing the problem without refinancing it.
- Preserves reputation and banking relationships by curing defaults quickly.
- Keeps projects moving to practical completion, settlement, or refinance.
- Gives outcome control: align term to your exit and cash flow.
- Transparent pricing with options including an interest rate of 11.95%, subject to assessment.
- Flexibility to capitalise interest to preserve working capital.
- A strategic alternative to equity dilution or distressed sales.
