Secured Lending

The term sheet isn't worth the paper it’s printed on if the lender moves the goalposts at settlement. 📉

With credit conditions tightening across Australia, some short-term and private lenders are luring borrowers in with soft indicative terms—only to slash LVRs or jack up rates once you’re committed and out of time.

Before you hand over a valuation fee or sign, ask three
1️⃣ Are you using your own capital, or syndicating?
2️⃣ Is this term sheet credit-approved or just an estimate?
3️⃣ What are the exact conditions that allow you to alter the LVR post-valuation?

Don't get caught in the 11th-hour squeeze. ⚡

$1.1M settled in under 72 hours. No red tape. No delays. Just the funding, fast.

An experienced property developer came to us recently—frustrated and fed up. He had multiple projects on the go, but one thing was holding him back: slow funding.

He knew he would be waiting weeks for progress payments if he got funding from the banks. Chasing paperwork. Explaining the same things over and over.

So he came to us, looking for speed—and certainty.

Using the equity in an existing property, we secured a $1.1M cash-out loan to help fund his Granville duplex development.

From application to settlement: less than 72 hours.

That speed meant:

- Subbies will be paid on time
- Materials ordered without delay
- Build progressed at pace, without compromise

This is where short-term lending fits in. When experienced developers need fast funding without the drama—this is what we’re here for.

If that sounds like where you're at, let's talk.

Recently facilitated a complex financing solution for a client facing a significant $800,000 tax debt. The client intended to satisfy this debt through the sale of a commercial property, however, their initial strategy involved enhancing the property's value by renegotiating the existing lease agreement.

However, the urgency of the outstanding tax liability needed to be resolved and there wasn't enough time to implement this value-add strategy. The client approached Secured Lending with a short term bridging loan to address the immediate debt.

We were able to provide a 12-month bridging loan, secured by a first mortgage over their commercial property located in Bentleigh, Victoria. We successfully funded the loan within 72 hours, enabling the client to discharge the $800,000 tax debt.

It's these kinds of situations that remind you how crucial it is to be able to move quickly in property finance. Sometimes, having that short-term bridge can make all the difference when time's not on your side.

Facing a Construction Funding Crunch?

How often do you encounter clients facing a critical bottleneck in their construction projects? Their existing private lender, despite initial support, suddenly can't deliver the necessary working capital for completion. Sound familiar?

We recently helped a local builder, facing a critical situation that I know many of you have encountered.

Their existing private lender couldn't provide the necessary construction working capital loan to keep their projects on track. They needed a 2nd mortgage for construction costs – and they needed it fast. Their current lender's limitations were putting timelines and profitability at risk.

We immediately understood the urgency for construction working capital loan. Recognising the high cost of construction delays, we quickly structured a refinance 2nd mortgage cash out construction solution, providing essential short term construction finance. This ensured immediate working capital, uninterrupted project momentum, and avoided financial setbacks. We prioritised speed, leveraging our efficient processes to deliver the needed funds rapidly. The builder's clear exit strategy (property sale) was also a key factor in our swift decision-making.

This outcome highlights Secured Lending's commitment to empowering borrowers to navigate challenging situations and achieve optimal results.
