What Is a Private Lender in Queensland?
A private lender provides finance outside the traditional banking system. In Queensland, private lending commonly involves short-term finance secured by eligible residential investment, commercial, industrial, development, land or regional property.
Private lending may also be described as private mortgage lending, private property finance, private money lending, asset-backed finance or non-bank lending.
A Queensland private lender generally considers:
-
The type, location and value of the property.
-
Existing mortgages, caveats and registered interests.
-
The amount of available equity.
-
The proposed loan-to-value ratio.
-
The business or investment purpose.
-
The requested loan term.
-
The proposed exit strategy.
Private lending does not guarantee approval. Every scenario must have acceptable security, an eligible loan purpose and a realistic repayment pathway.
When Might Private Lending Be Suitable?
Private finance may be considered where a borrower has a viable property-backed transaction but cannot use a conventional bank solution within the required structure or timeframe.
Common Queensland private lending scenarios include:
-
A business requiring short-term working capital.
-
A property settlement occurring before bank finance is available.
-
An investor buying before selling another property.
-
A developer requiring construction completion funding.
-
A borrower accessing equity through a second mortgage.
-
An existing private mortgage or caveat loan reaching maturity.
-
A business addressing ATO or creditor obligations.
-
A developer refinancing completed residual stock.
-
A property owner requiring more time to complete a sale or refinance.
The proposed finance should solve a defined short-term requirement rather than postpone an unresolved financial problem.
How Does Private Lending Work?
The process begins with a clear summary of the transaction.
A borrower or referrer should provide:
-
The borrower or borrowing entity.
-
The Queensland property offered as security.
-
Its estimated value.
-
Existing mortgage and caveat balances.
-
The amount required.
-
The intended use of funds.
-
The required timeframe.
-
The proposed exit strategy.
If the scenario appears suitable, Assurity Capital may request property information, loan statements, ownership records, company or trust documents, evidence supporting the loan purpose and information about the proposed exit.
Any indicative terms remain subject to acceptable security, due diligence, legal documentation and final approval.
Private Lenders vs Banks in Queensland
Banks and private lenders can both provide property-backed finance, but their lending processes and suitable uses differ.
Banks commonly assess historical income, serviceability, financial statements, credit history and compliance with standard lending policy.
Private mortgage lenders may place greater emphasis on:
-
The property offered as security.
-
Available equity and LVR.
-
The commercial purpose.
-
The amount and term required.
-
The proposed exit strategy.
-
The overall circumstances of the transaction.
This can make private lending relevant where a transaction is viable but does not fit standard bank timing or criteria.
Private finance may involve higher rates and fees than mainstream bank lending. Borrowers should assess the total cost, property risk, loan term and available alternatives before proceeding.
Private Mortgage Lenders Queensland
Private mortgage lenders provide finance secured by real property. The lender may hold a first-ranking mortgage or rank behind an existing lender through a second mortgage.
Eligible security may include:
-
Residential investment property.
-
Commercial property.
-
Industrial premises.
-
Offices, retail premises and warehouses.
-
Mixed-use property.
-
Vacant land.
-
Development sites.
-
Partially completed projects.
-
Completed residual stock.
-
Eligible regional or rural property.
The property’s location, value, marketability, existing debt and proposed loan structure determine whether it may be accepted.
First Mortgage Loans Queensland
A private first mortgage gives the lender first-ranking security over the property.
First mortgage finance may be considered for:
-
Purchasing investment property.
-
Acquiring commercial or industrial premises.
-
Refinancing eligible business or investment debt.
-
Property development.
-
Construction completion.
-
Bridging a property settlement.
-
Accessing equity for a defined commercial purpose.
The security, loan amount, LVR, purpose and exit strategy form part of the assessment.
Second Mortgage Loans Queensland
A private second mortgage ranks behind an existing first mortgage. It may allow an eligible borrower to access available property equity without refinancing the first loan.
Second mortgage finance may be considered for:
-
Business cash flow.
-
ATO and creditor payments.
-
Development or construction expenses.
-
Investment opportunities.
-
Bridging requirements.
-
Refinancing short-term debt.
-
Other defined commercial purposes.
The first mortgage and proposed second mortgage are assessed together when calculating the combined LVR.
Bridging Loans Queensland
A bridging loan provides short-term finance between a property purchase, sale, settlement, development milestone or refinance.
Queensland bridging finance may help where:
-
An investor is purchasing before selling.
-
A settlement is due before sale proceeds become available.
-
A refinance is progressing but has not settled.
-
A developer needs funding before project completion.
-
A borrower requires additional time to sell property.
-
A business expects funds from an identifiable future event.
A credible exit strategy is essential. The proposed repayment may come from a property sale, mainstream refinance, development settlement or another verifiable source.
Secured Business Loans Queensland
A secured business loan uses acceptable property as security for an eligible commercial requirement.
Private business finance may be used for:
-
Working capital.
-
Stock and inventory.
-
Equipment or project costs.
-
Business expansion.
-
Supplier and creditor payments.
-
ATO liabilities.
-
Commercial acquisitions.
-
Refinancing eligible business debt.
The business purpose must be clearly defined and supported by a realistic repayment strategy.
Commercial Property Finance Queensland
Private commercial property finance may be secured by eligible offices, shops, warehouses, industrial premises, medical suites or mixed-use property.
It may assist with:
-
Commercial property acquisition.
-
Refinancing an existing commercial facility.
-
Releasing equity for a business purpose.
-
Bridging a commercial settlement.
-
Funding eligible property improvements.
-
Addressing a short-term commercial requirement.
Commercial property lending is assessed according to the property, occupancy, location, marketability, existing debt and proposed exit.
Property Development Finance Queensland
Private development finance may be considered for eligible residential, commercial or mixed-use projects across Queensland.
Potential uses include:
-
Development-site acquisition.
-
Remaining construction costs.
-
Construction completion.
-
Refinancing development debt.
-
Bridging pending presales or settlements.
-
Releasing equity from completed stock.
The assessment may consider the current site value, completed works, outstanding costs, project feasibility, existing debt, expected sales and proposed exit.
Construction Completion Finance
Construction completion finance may help an eligible developer finish a partially completed project before sale or refinance.
The assessment may examine:
-
The current construction stage.
-
Completed and outstanding works.
-
The remaining project budget.
-
Existing development debt.
-
The estimated completed value.
-
Project risks and marketability.
-
The proposed completion and exit timeframe.
Residual Stock Finance Queensland
Residual stock finance is secured against completed but unsold property held by a developer.
Eligible stock may include completed apartments, townhouses, residential estates, commercial suites or other finished property.
Residual stock finance may help a developer:
-
Refinance existing development debt.
-
Release equity while remaining stock sells.
-
Manage project holding costs.
-
Support staged settlements.
-
Fund another eligible business or investment requirement.
The completed value, debt position, sales progress, marketability and exit strategy form part of the assessment.
Refinancing Caveat Loans and Private Mortgages
A caveat loan is generally supported by a caveat lodged over property rather than a registered first or second mortgage.
Assurity Capital may consider refinancing an eligible:
-
Caveat loan.
-
Private first mortgage.
-
Private second mortgage.
-
Bridging facility.
-
Maturing development loan.
-
Short-term secured business facility.
The new facility must be supported by acceptable property security and a clear plan to repay the replacement loan.
