What is a Second Mortgage?
A second mortgage is an additional loan secured against a property that already has an existing mortgage. It usually sits behind your first home loan and gives the second mortgage lender a claim over your property if the loan is not repaid.
Homeowners may consider a second mortgage loan when they want to access home equity, consolidate debt, fund renovations, support family or cover a major life event. However, because it is still debt, it typically comes with interest, repayments, lender approval requirements and long-term financial obligations.

Why Second Mortgages are Becoming Popular in Australia?
Rising living costs, higher mortgage repayments and greater financial pressure have led many homeowners to look at ways to use the equity in their property.

Why HomeFlex is a Good Alternative to Second Mortgages
HomeFlex helps eligible homeowners access part of their home equity without taking out a second mortgage, refinancing or selling their home.
Instead of charging interest, HomeFlex provides funds now in exchange for an agreed share of your home’s future value. You remain the homeowner, stay in control of your property and repay when you sell, refinance or choose to buy out HomeFlex’s share.
Unlike a second mortgage loan, HomeFlex does not add compounding interest to your debt. HomeFlex shares in the future property outcome and carries capital growth risk alongside you.

This calculator is provided for illustrative purposes only. The actual outcome will vary depending on unknown variables such as property values, loan terms, interest rates and approved loan sizes etc.
1 - This is based on your estimate of your future home value. For customers with a funding need <3 years, please contact LongView on 1800 931 784 to discuss your financial needs.
2 - If you do not specify your remaining loan term or interest rate under additional questions, the calculator will assume a 25-year loan term and 6.5% p.a. interest rate on your first mortgage and will amortise the mortgage balance accordingly. Any amortisation does not consider the effect of additional repayments, balances in offset accounts or fluctuating interest rates.

Clear the Debt. Keep the Control.
If you’re juggling credit cards, personal loans, or car repayments, you’re not alone. Traditional consolidation often means taking out another loan, with new interest, new monthly repayments, and a longer timeline to pay it off.
HomeFlex works differently. It lets you access up to $500K of your home equity to clear your debts, with no interest, no monthly repayments, and no need to refinance or sell your home.
