Assurity Capital, a leading non-bank lender and specialist private finance provider, recently settled a $550,000 second mortgage private loan secured against two residential properties located in Bondi Beach and Dover Heights, Sydney.
The transaction demonstrates how private lending solutions can provide fast, flexible funding for borrowers seeking to secure time-sensitive investment opportunities when traditional lenders are unable to meet required deadlines.
Second Mortgage Loan Scenario
Loan Type: Second Mortgage Private Loan
Loan Amount: $550,000
Security Properties: Bondi Beach & Dover Heights residential properties
Location: Sydney NSW
Combined LVR: Approximately 45%
Valuations: Not required
Purpose: Participation in a syndicated duplex development
Loan Structure: Asset-backed private lending solution
Fast Funding for a Time-Sensitive Investment Opportunity
The borrower identified an opportunity to participate in a syndicated duplex development project and required immediate access to capital to secure their investment position.
Due to the short timeframe involved, conventional banks and mainstream lenders were unable to provide the required speed, flexibility, or commercial structure needed to complete the transaction efficiently.
Private lending provided a practical solution, allowing the borrower to leverage existing property equity without lengthy approval processes.
Why the Deal Was Strong
This second mortgage scenario was supported by two premium residential properties located in highly sought-after Sydney suburbs:
Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach remains one of Australia’s most recognised and tightly held property markets, known for strong buyer demand, lifestyle appeal, and long-term capital growth.
Dover Heights
Dover Heights is regarded as one of Sydney’s premier eastern suburbs, featuring high-value residential property and strong underlying market fundamentals.
The combination of these two security properties contributed to a conservative overall lending position, with the combined exposure sitting at approximately 45% Loan to Value Ratio (LVR).
No Valuation Required
One of the key advantages in this transaction was the ability to proceed without formal property valuations.
Because the transaction involved:
Low combined leverage
High-quality residential security
Strong equity position
Clear investment purpose
Defined exit strategy
the lender was comfortable relying on existing market evidence and asset quality to assess the scenario.
Removing the valuation requirement significantly reduced turnaround times and helped accelerate settlement.
