When cash is temporarily tight, the pressure to sell a property or business asset can come on fast. It’s rarely a “bad decision” problem — it’s usually a timing problem. A tax bill lands before a receivable clears. A settlement deadline arrives before funds are released. A lender calls in a facility at the wrong moment. In those situations, caveat loans for Forced Sale Avoidance can give you breathing room and help prevent asset sales driven by short-term liquidity pressure. Contact us today if you need urgent assistance.

We’ve also facilitated over 500 strategic commercial loans, including urgent solutions designed to protect your position when time is working against you. If you need to move quickly, Secured Lending can help you move fast with a bridging loan for Forced Sale Avoidance. Assess your scenario today.
What a caveat loan is and why it matters in forced sale situations
A caveat loan is a short-term loan secured by real property, where a caveat is lodged on title to protect the lender’s interest. In plain terms: you use equity in your residential or commercial property to access funds quickly, without the slower processes that come with many traditional approvals.
This type of finance can be especially useful when the real risk isn’t long-term viability — it’s an immediate cash flow gap that could push you into a discounted sale.
Common forced-sale pressure points include:
- Pending property settlement with a funding gap
- A time-sensitive payout figure from another lender
- A tax or BAS obligation with penalties looming
- A business cash flow crunch while invoices are due to land
- An urgent settlement tied to a purchase or refinance
- An emergency liquidity need while you finalise a longer-term plan
Benefits of caveat finance for Forced Sale Avoidance
Used correctly, caveat finance is less about “more debt” and more about buying time and protecting value.
Key benefits include:
- Prevents asset sales driven by short-term liquidity pressure by giving you funds before you’re forced to accept a low offer.
- Speed when it counts, including options for Fast, same day settlement and funding within 24 hours (subject to assessment).
- Flexible short terms designed to bridge a clear exit pathway, such as refinance, sale at market value, or business cash flow normalising.
- Larger facilities can be possible when supported by property equity — you may be able to borrow up to $10million depending on your scenario.
- Clarity around pricing and structure. At Secured Lending, we can offer an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a on suitable deals (risk, security, and term dependent).
The practical outcome: you keep control of the timeline, which is often where the real money is made or lost.
Where Secured Lending fits in
Speed is only useful if the loan is structured properly and aligns with your next step. This is where Secured Lending helps. We’re a non bank business lender and Private Lender in Australia, and we operate Australia wide across Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Canberra. That means you can access secured business loan and property-backed funding without the long back-and-forth that can derail time-sensitive outcomes.
We focus on what matters in a forced-sale avoidance scenario:
- What’s the deadline and what happens if you miss it?
- What asset is at risk of being sold too cheaply?
- What’s your clean exit strategy — refinance, sale, payout, or cash flow event?
- How do we structure the loan so it solves the immediate problem without creating a new one?
How we help you move quickly and confidently
We assess the real objective, not just the application
Forced-sale pressure can come with noise — multiple parties, competing priorities, and partial information. We quickly identify the key decision points: the amount required, when it’s required, and what outcome you’re protecting.
We structure caveat funding around your exit
A caveat loan should be a bridge, not a long-term compromise. We’ll work with you to align the term to a realistic exit, whether that’s:
- refinancing to a longer-term facility,
- completing a planned sale under normal market conditions,
- releasing funds from another transaction, or
- stabilising business cash flow.
We can move fast when timing is tight
If you’re dealing with an urgent settlement, speed is not a luxury. Depending on the scenario and property/security details, we can support Fast, same day settlement or funding within 24 hours. This is where our process and experience matter — we’ve facilitated over 500 strategic commercial loans, and urgent timelines are a core part of what we do.
We provide private-lender urgency without the chaos
Some borrowers search for a “private lender urgent” option and end up with unclear terms or shifting goalposts. Our approach is direct: we confirm what’s required, what’s possible, and what it will cost, then coordinate the steps needed to settle.
We support meaningful loan sizes when equity supports it
Forced-sale avoidance isn’t always about small shortfalls. Sometimes it’s a larger payout to stop a distressed sale or prevent enforcement action. Where supported, you may be able to borrow up to $10million using property as security.
We stay practical about cost and trade-offs
Short-term funding has a purpose: protect value and buy time. If you’re avoiding a rushed sale that could cost you far more than the interest, the maths can be straightforward. We’ll talk through pricing transparently, including scenarios where an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a may apply.
