Private credit for mortgage advisors

Private credit is property-secured business lending from a non-bank lender. HomeSec provides it for New Zealand mortgage advisors whose business clients need speed or flexibility that a bank cannot offer.

  • $20,000–$1,000,000 loan range, subject to assessment
  • 24 hours as little as, from a clean, complete scenario
  • 6 months interest can be capitalised in qualifying structures
  • 1st and 2nd mortgage security considered

Why advisors add private credit to the toolkit

Banks are the right answer for most clients most of the time. Private credit is the answer when the timing is tight, the situation sits outside policy, or the client needs a short bridge to a longer-term facility.

Having a reliable private lender means you can keep a client whose bank has said no or cannot move in time, and return them to bank funding later.

How HomeSec structures it

First and second mortgage security over suitable New Zealand property, for genuine business purposes, from $20,000 to $1,000,000. Interest can be capitalised for up to six months in qualifying structures, and open-term options are available.

A scenario that moves quickly

Include these in your first message:

  • The business purpose, the amount and the date funds are needed
  • Who the borrower is, who owns the property and what the current lending is
  • The property address, estimated value and any existing mortgages
  • A realistic exit: the refinance, sale or repayment source and when it lands

Why mortgage advisors use HomeSec

Speed, clarity and a direct line to the lender.

Deal directly with the lender

Talk to the people making the lending decision, not a queue.

Speed that is defined

The clock runs from a clean, complete scenario to funds, so you can plan your client's timeline.

Credit history is not the barrier

Credit checks are irrelevant to the decision, and a bad credit history is generally not an issue.

Light on paperwork

No valuations or cashflow records needed for the initial assessment.

Flexible structures

First or second mortgage security, open-term options and up to six months of capitalised interest in qualifying structures.

Clear updates

You hear what is needed and what is still subject to approval.

Questions advisors ask

Frequently asked questions

What is private credit?

Lending from a non-bank lender, here secured by property and used for business purposes.

When should an advisor use private credit instead of a bank?

When timing is critical, when the situation falls outside bank policy, or when the client needs a bridge while longer-term funding is arranged.

Can the client later move back to a bank?

Often, yes. Open-term options mean the loan can stay in place until a refinance completes.

Is credit history a barrier?

Credit checks are irrelevant to the decision and a bad credit history is generally not an issue.

What size loans do you write?

$20,000 to $1,000,000, subject to assessment.

Does HomeSec contact my client, or can I keep the relationship?

You choose. We can do it all for you: we contact the client and keep you updated at every stage of the short process. Or we work through you, so you keep the conversation with the client right up to approval, when only our credit team needs a quick chat with the client to meet identity (KYC and AML) requirements. Either way we do the hard work, and your choice does not affect your brokerage.
