Caveat Loan
The first thing to understand about caveat loans is that they are not like normal mortgage loans, as a caveat can be lodged on title immediately and enable a loan to be funded in a matter of days from application. Caveat loans are sometimes also referred to as an ‘unregistered second mortgage’ or an ‘equitable mortgage.’
You should own a property to take out a caveat loan against it. A caveat operates like a form of ‘injunction,’ which means the loan is lodged on title behind your existing mortgage (no consent is required from your bank to do so). This also means the borrower is prevented by a ‘caveat’ from settling the sale of the property without the permission of the caveat loan provider.
