$200,000 Second Mortgage Loan Secured Against Bondi Beach Property for Retail Expansion

Assurity Capital recently settled a $200,000 second mortgage private loan secured against a property located in Bondi Beach NSW 2026.

The funding was used to complete the fit-out of a premium retail store in Melbourne for a boutique designer retail business expanding interstate.

This scenario highlights how private lending and second mortgage finance can assist business owners who require fast, flexible access to capital outside traditional bank lending parameters.

Second Mortgage Loan Scenario

• Location: Bondi Beach NSW 2026

• Loan Amount: $200,000

• Loan Type: Second Mortgage Private Loan

• Security: Bondi Beach property

• Purpose: Retail store fit-out for interstate expansion

• LVR: Approximately 70%

• Valuation Type: Desktop valuation accepted

• Borrower Profile: Boutique designer retail business

Funding for a Retail Expansion Opportunity

The borrower required immediate funding to finalise the fit-out of a new Melbourne retail location as part of their business expansion strategy.

Due to the time-sensitive nature of the project and the borrower’s non-standard finance requirements, traditional lenders were not able to provide the flexibility or turnaround required.

Using a second mortgage structure allowed the borrower to leverage existing property equity quickly and efficiently without refinancing their primary mortgage facility.

Bondi Beach Property Used as Security

The loan was secured against a property located in Bondi Beach, one of Sydney’s most recognised and tightly held property markets.

Bondi Beach continues to experience strong demand due to its:

• Premium lifestyle location

• Strong underlying property values

• Limited supply environment

• Long-term market appeal

The strength of the underlying security assisted in supporting the transaction at approximately 70% Loan to Value Ratio (LVR).

Desktop Valuation Accepted

One of the key advantages of this transaction was the ability to proceed using a desktop valuation rather than requiring a full formal valuation.

In suitable scenarios, desktop assessments can help:

• Reduce upfront costs

• Accelerate approvals

• Improve settlement timeframes

• Simplify the funding process

Because the transaction involved a strong security location and a clear business purpose, the lender was comfortable proceeding using a desktop assessment.

Flexible Funding for Non-Standard Borrowers

Creative industries and boutique retail businesses often face challenges obtaining finance through traditional lenders, particularly when:

• Expansion opportunities are time-sensitive

• Financial structures are non-standard

• Funding is needed quickly

• Business cash flow fluctuates seasonally

• Banks require lengthy approval processes

Private lending can provide a more flexible alternative where the strength of the security and overall transaction are key considerations.

The borrower selected Assurity Capital due to the ability to provide:

• Fast access to funding

• Flexible second mortgage lending

• Desktop valuation acceptance

• Streamlined approval process
