Indicative framework

Two security rankings, different risk profiles

Return ranges, terms and LVR limits are indicative only and remain subject to each transaction's documentation and review.

01

First Mortgage Note

6.5%-8.0% p.a.

Indicative return

Term
6-24 months
Loan-to-value ratio
Up to 75% LVR
Security
First registered mortgage over property.
Risk considerations
Returns and repayment depend on the borrower, the property, enforcement timing and realisation proceeds.

02

Second Mortgage Note

9.0%-12.0% p.a.

Indicative return

Term
6-24 months
Loan-to-value ratio
Up to 75% LVR
Security
Second registered mortgage, with a GSA and/or personal guarantee where applicable.
Risk considerations
Second-ranking security is repaid after prior-ranking claims and can involve greater loss, delay and enforcement risk.

Loan-to-value ratio

How LVR is considered

LVR compares total secured lending with property value. It is one part of a wider assessment and does not remove investment risk.

Repayment priority

Security ranking matters

  1. 01

    First registered mortgage

    First-ranking secured claim

  2. 02

    Second registered mortgage

    Repaid after prior-ranking claims

  3. 03

    Borrower equity

    Residual value after secured lending

Illustration only. Security ranking does not guarantee repayment or recovery.

Security framework

Security is assessed with its limits in view

The nature and priority of each security package is reviewed before funding; security does not make an investment safe.

Legal completion workspace with property plans
Illustrative legal-completion setting. Transaction documents are prepared and completed offline.

First registered mortgage

A first-ranking registered mortgage is security over property, subject to the registered terms, prior interests and the outcome of any enforcement or sale.

Second registered mortgage

A second-ranking registered mortgage is repaid after prior-ranking claims. This can increase the risk of loss, delay and uncertainty in a recovery.

General security agreement

A GSA may secure obligations against specified borrower assets where it is included in the transaction documents. Its value and ranking depend on the relevant circumstances.

Personal guarantee

A personal guarantee may be requested where applicable. Recovery depends on the guarantor, the guarantee terms and available assets, and is not assured.

Review sequence

Underwriting and legal completion

The process remains subject to internal approval and completed legal documentation.

  1. Initial assessment

    Review borrower purpose, repayment strategy and requested facility.

  2. Security review

    Assess valuation evidence, title, ranking and total secured exposure.

  3. Credit review

    Consider credit history, servicing, guarantees and transaction risks.

  4. Legal completion

    Complete approved loan and security documentation before funding.

  5. Ongoing oversight

    Monitor material conditions, maturity and the agreed repayment path.

Risk considerations

Risks remain material

These considerations are not exhaustive and require New Zealand legal review before production.

Valuation risk

Property values can change and valuation evidence can differ from sale outcomes.

Borrower default risk

A borrower may not meet repayment obligations when due.

Ranking risk

Prior-ranking claims can reduce or delay amounts available to a second-ranking security holder.

Enforcement timing and cost

Enforcement can take time, require professional costs and be affected by legal and market conditions.

Extension risk

A facility may require an extension and the original repayment timing may not be achieved.

Liquidity risk

An investment may not be readily transferable or repayable before the relevant transaction concludes.

Recovery shortfall

Realisation proceeds may be insufficient to repay capital, income, costs or other amounts in full.
