Assurity Capital successfully arranged and settled a combined 1st mortgage of $474,500 and 2nd mortgage of $295,500 to assist with the purchase of a one-bedroom apartment in Newcastle, New South Wales.
The transaction involved a discretionary trust with a corporate trustee structure — a lending scenario where traditional lenders can often become restrictive or time-consuming.
Using a tailored private lending solution, Assurity Capital was able to assist the client in meeting a tight settlement timeframe while leveraging equity from an existing property.
