Large Mortgage Loans

A million pound plus mortgage can often be more challenging to obtain and whilst some high street lenders are now offering mortgages up to £5 million, their underwriting criteria is often too restrictive and not flexible enough for the requirements of High Net Worth borrowers.
We often find people who intend to borrow at this level have complex, unusual or mixed income streams and need bespoke funding solutions. Our experienced advisors will take the time to fully understand your circumstances and requirements to determine how to arrange your property finance in the most efficient manner.

Why are large mortgages harder to obtain?
We are often asked by High Earners and High Net Worth clients why obtaining a multi-million pound mortgage can be so hard and the simple answer is, risk.
Even in relatively straight forward cases, for example, those with a high income from traditional means can find a far smaller choice of lender and also higher interest rates and this is because the main lenders prefer to spread their risk over multiple properties which can be easier to sell than high end homes. Likewise, those on high income will typically pay off a debt far quicker than the average borrower, this is often due to their large amounts of disposable income or substantial bonuses.
Alternatively, it can be the complexity of a borrower’s income and assets. A high street lender works from a far more rigid set of rules to make underwriting quicker, whereas a private bank can take a more holistic view of an applicant’s circumstances and can also secure against other assets, for example, stocks, shares and trusts.


Which lenders offer million pound mortgages?
As true whole of market independent brokers we source across the entire market incorporating high street lenders, private banks, smaller building societies and specialist lenders.
Private banks and niche lenders can tailor a mortgage to your needs instead of simply providing an ‘off the shelf’ product and provide a more unique way of underwriting their lending.
Lender criteria and rates are much more movable for mortgages over £1 million and we will analyse and assess a number of different ways to structure the loan. Mortgages can be arranged on either a repayment, interest only basis or a combination of the two and we are well positioned to obtain competitive interest rates and terms for your high value loan.
