    What is a High-Net-Worth Mortgage?


    A high-net-worth individual is defined by the FCA as those with an annual net income of no less than £300,000 or net assets of no less than £3 million.

    High-net-worth mortgages cater specifically to individuals who possess substantial wealth and unique financial circumstances. These clients often require customised mortgage solutions that align with their specific goals and financial profiles. They may find that high street lenders do not offer the right level of expertise to cater for their needs.

    High-net-worth individuals may also have more complex incomes or multiple streams of income, purchase more unusual property, purchase as an overseas national or require a large loan at a high loan-to-value. All these factors may deem the loan as riskier for the lender and require the assistance of a specialist such as Private Finance to help negotiate the right bespoke terms for high-net-worth clients.

    Securities-Based Loan Options: Lombard Loans


    Lombard loans are a type of secured loan that allows individuals or businesses to borrow funds by using their existing financial assets as collateral. This could include an investment portfolio, stocks and shares or other securities. Lombard lending is commonly offered by private banks and financial institutions to high-net-worth individuals and can be an advantageous option for individuals who are asset-rich income-poor.

    High Value Interest-Only Mortgages


    High value interest-only mortgages can provide greater flexibility for the right type of client by lowering your monthly mortgage repayments. This option may be suitable if your income is expected to increase in the near future.

    As the monthly repayment is lower relative to a standard repayment mortgage, high-net-worth clients may find they have greater financial freedom to exercise their wealth without liquidating assets or impacting on cash flow.

    Individuals will have to demonstrate they have an acceptable repayment vehicle to pay off the loan at the end of the mortgage term. These can include one or more of the following:

    • Savings – saving towards the final lump sum payment through ISAs or other types of saving account.
    • Stocks and shares.
    • Liquidating other assets and properties can be used in the future to pay off your mortgage.
    • Pensions – withdrawing from one or more pension at the end of the term.

    Multi-Million-Pound Mortgages


    When dealing with substantial loan amounts, lenders need to thoroughly assess the borrower’s financial background, creditworthiness, and ability to repay the loan due to the heightened level of risk for lenders. They also consider the value and type of property being financed, as well as any potential fluctuations in the market. These rigorous evaluations are intended to protect both the lender and the borrower from undue financial risks.

    Furthermore, multi-million-pound mortgages may require the coordination of multiple parties. This includes liaising with the lender, solicitors, surveyors, and potentially other professionals involved in the transaction. The complexity of coordinating these different stakeholders and ensuring timely communication and documentation can be a daunting task for borrowers.

    Our network of lenders and market experience, helps us to leverage these connections to streamline the mortgage process ensuring smoother communication and coordination between all parties involved, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome for our clients.

     

    Private Bank Mortgages


    Private Banks provide a tailored mortgage solution and bespoke underwriting for clients meeting their requirements and profile. They often provide ancillary services such as banking and wealth management that dovetail well with their client’s needs and might form part of the mortgage solution.

    Whether you are ‘asset rich, cash poor’ or ‘income rich, cash poor’ or require a more flexible approach, our long-standing relationships with private banks will help you connect with the right bank and that your specific financial requirements are met.
