    Posting on behalf of a family member. 

    Does anyone know where my relative can get a good caveat loan from for $30K with low interest rate per month.  Preferably between 6-12mths, most likely 7-8months.

    What is the overall lvr pre caveat.

    Where is the security I assume it is residential.

    Realistically between 2-6% per month is the likely rate so not exactly cheap but certainly quick.

    Hi Richard,

    An agent appraisal valued his home for $320K. 

    I'm not sure how these things go….I'm just guessing…..would LVR be 90% for $32K caveat?

    Yes….the security is residential in NSW.

    Not aware of anyone who would do that lvr on a caveat loan.

    Usual max would be 75-80%.

    Try a building society for a personal loan instead. They have interest rates as low as 9%.

    RIchard can you explain how LVR works with a caveat?

    So how much would they be able to borrow if the value of their property is $320K?

    Maybe 80% of the valuation if they are lucky over a short term of say upto 12 months.

    Add the caveat to the mortgage and devide by the value of the property.

    E.g.

    Current mortgage. 256K
    plus caveat. 32k

    total debts against security. 288k

    288 / 320 = 90% LVR

    Given that it is monthly interest you might need to borrow to cover some of the costs. Establishment fees and legal fees can be high.

    Why not tell us what it is for?

    For most purposes the benefits do not justify the costs however there are exceptions.

    Agree with Banker i cant see any reason at all unless it is a very short term and for some unbeknown reason you dont want to approach a conventional lender or you need the money this afternoon.

    He is owing $255K  on the property.

    He has tried approaching conventional lenders, but he has a default on credit history from 2006 (under $300) and he needs funds immediately.  It is for investment purposes.

    ok.  I understand how it works.  Maybe not worth pursuing!
