Frequently asked questions

Caveat loan FAQ.

Can't find your answer? Talk to our team.

What is a caveat loan?

A caveat loan is a type of secured financing where a legal notice (caveat) is lodged against your property title. This gives the lender a legal interest in the property as security, while you retain full ownership and use of the property.

Can I get a caveat loan if I have a mortgage?

Yes. Caveat loans can be placed on properties with existing mortgages, as long as there is sufficient equity. The caveat sits behind the registered mortgage as second-tier security.

How fast can I receive the funds?

Most caveat loans are processed within 24–72 hours from initial enquiry to disbursement. This makes them one of the fastest property-backed financing options available.

What is the maximum I can borrow?

Typically up to 80% of the property's assessed value, less any outstanding mortgage. The exact amount depends on the property type, location, and your overall financial position.

Are there restrictions on how I use the funds?

No. Funds from a caveat loan are unrestricted. You can use them for any business purpose: working capital, expansion, inventory, marketing, or any other legitimate need.
