Why Caveat Finance

When speed is everything, a caveat loan delivers.

Secured Lending team

No mortgage registration — funds available in hours

Unlike a mortgage, a caveat is lodged electronically and takes effect almost immediately. This removes the single biggest delay in traditional secured lending — Land Registry processing time.

Built for urgent, time-critical situations

ATO deadlines, settlement gaps, creditor threats, payroll gaps — situations where waiting 3–5 days for a mortgage to register is simply not an option. Caveat finance was designed for exactly these scenarios.

Our funds, our decision

We're a non-bank direct private lender. No broker chain, no credit committee. The person assessing your deal is the person authorising the funds — which is why we can move faster than any bank or managed fund lender.

Short terms, clear exits

Caveat loans typically run weeks to a few months — designed to bridge an urgent gap while a longer-term solution is arranged. No penalty for early repayment in most cases.

A caveat loan is a short-term business loan secured by lodging a caveat on a property title. The caveat is a legal notice that prevents the property from being sold or further encumbered without the lender's consent. Because lodging a caveat is faster than registering a mortgage, caveat loans can settle significantly faster — often the same day.

Both use property as security, but the legal mechanism differs. A mortgage requires formal registration with the Land Registry, which takes time. A caveat can be lodged electronically within hours. Caveat loans are typically used when speed is the overriding priority and the loan term is very short — days to a few months. They are not a substitute for a mortgage on longer-term facilities.

Same-day settlement is achievable when documentation and security details are ready. Most caveat loans settle within a few hours to 24 hours of application. This makes them one of the fastest forms of secured business finance available in Australia.

No. We can lodge a caveat behind an existing first mortgage or second mortgage, provided there is sufficient equity. The key factors are the combined LVR and a clear, credible exit strategy.

Any legitimate business purpose — stopping an urgent creditor action, clearing an ATO debt, covering a short-term cashflow gap, funding a settlement that cannot be delayed, or bridging while longer-term finance is arranged. All loans are for business purposes only.

Typically up to 70% of security value, depending on property type, location, and exit strategy. Residential property generally allows higher LVRs. Commercial and specialised security is assessed case by case.

No. Caveat loans are assessed on the security value and exit strategy — not trading history, tax lodgements, or credit scores. This is why they suit businesses in urgent situations that banks won't move quickly enough to help.

A lending specialist (not a call centre) will call you within business hours to discuss the deal. Given the urgency of most caveat loan situations, we treat these enquiries as high priority and aim to have an indicative offer to you the same day.

Loans offered by Secured Lending are strictly for business purposes only. Applications are subject to credit assessment, property valuation, and satisfactory security. Terms, fees and rates vary by deal. Indicative rates from 9.7% p.a., subject to security type, LVR and exit strategy. Caveat loans are short-term facilities and are not a substitute for a registered mortgage on longer-term lending.
