Six property-secured loan types. Each links to a full product page with process, use cases and common questions.
A first mortgage loan is secured by a first-ranking mortgage over the property, so the lender holds the primary registered security. Because that position ranks first, first mortgages are typically the lowest-priced form of private property lending.
Common usesInvestment and commercial property purchases, refinancing an existing facility, equity release, and settling a purchase a bank cannot fund in time.
A second mortgage sits behind an existing first mortgage, letting a borrower access equity without refinancing or disturbing their current first loan. It is secured against the property, not the borrower.
Common usesBusiness working capital, property deposits, funding a tax liability, renovations, short-term gaps, and debt consolidation.
A bridging loan is short-term, property-secured finance built around a specific date and a clear exit, usually a sale or a refinance. It covers the timing gap between two property or financial events.
Common usesBuying before selling, settling an auction or purchase before a refinance completes, funding renovations before resale, and acquiring a site before long-term funding is arranged.
A short-term property loan is a property-secured facility for a defined period and a broad purpose, where a clear exit is planned within the term.
Common usesTime-limited business or investment funding, cash-flow timing, settlement shortfalls, and funding a deal while a longer-term solution is arranged.
A home equity loan releases equity held in a property the borrower already owns, secured against that property, for a business or investment purpose.
Common usesReleasing equity for a deposit, funding a business or investment, consolidating debt, and accessing capital without a full refinance.
A construction loan funds building and development works, released in stages against progress, to acquire land and complete a residential or commercial project.
Common usesLand acquisition, construction drawdowns, pre-construction and DA works, site refinance, and funding a development through to completion.
