Second mortgage

Second mortgage for an ATO debt, behind a fixed first

$650k, 78% combined LVR · Melbourne, VIC

Hypothetical example for explanation only. This is not a completed Archer Wealth transaction, a credit approval or a promise of an outcome.

The situation
Self-employed borrower with strong equity in a Toorak family home, an existing first mortgage fixed at a rate well below current variable, and a six-figure ATO debt the bank would not refinance into a top-up. Full refinance would have meant losing the fixed first.

Structure

  • Registered second mortgage behind the existing first
  • First-mortgage-holder consent as part of the standard process
  • Combined LVR of 78%
  • ATO debt to be cleared at settlement; remainder for short-dated working capital
