Second mortgage Bondi Beach

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.


Assurity Capital’s Approach

At Assurity Capital, we focus on structuring practical lending solutions designed around the borrower’s objectives and timeline.

For this transaction, our assessment focused on:

  • The quality and location of the underlying assets

  • The borrower’s overall equity position

  • The low combined LVR

  • The investment strategy and proposed exit

  • The urgency of the opportunity


By understanding the commercial requirements of the borrower, we were able to facilitate a flexible second mortgage structure suitable for the transaction.


The Outcome

The borrower successfully secured funding and proceeded with the investment opportunity without delay.
