What is a Second Mortgage?

A second mortgage is a property-backed loan secured behind an existing first mortgage, allowing borrowers to access additional capital without disturbing their primary loan.

What is SLVR?

SLVR (Structured Loan to Value Ratio) is Knote’s internal risk metric used in second mortgage lending. Unlike standard LVR, SLVR applies a buffer to the first mortgage/mortgagee.

For example only and in most cases: Subject to First Mortgagee Priority

A buffer of +10% to +25% is applied to the outstanding first mortgage (depending on the type and priority of the first mortgage provider).

This ensures lending decisions reflect real-world recovery costs, risk exposure, and capital protection across all second mortgage transactions.
