Raising £1,000,000 On A High Net Worth Exemption Mortgage

Rated 4.97 out of 5 from 2,400+ reviews

Our Client’s Background

When you have complex, non-conventional income, yet benefit from considerable net worth in property, how can you raise funds efficiently and flexibly?
This was the question our clients had; Mr, a seasoned property developer and Mrs, a successful entrepreneur across numerous businesses and industries. With fluctuating income contingent upon shifting project timelines, the clients aimed to remortgage their main residence valued at £5,500,000.

The primary objective was varied; securing £1,000,000 for home improvements, business investments, and school fees, without the burdensome demands of traditional mortgage underwriting which go with such complex income.

The Initial Challenges

Navigating the mortgage landscape with unorthodox income from complex business holdings posed a substantial hurdle. We identified a lender that could assist with a normal mortgage, however given the complexity of the income, we knew that the underwriting would take 6 – 8 weeks. They would demand exhaustive proofs of income that neither client could conveniently supply. The clients desired a flexible process and greater certainty of funds.

How Our High Net Worth Mortgage Provided The Solution

Understanding the unique financial scenarios of high-net-worth individuals, Private Finance tailored a bespoke mortgage solution: a five-year roll-up bridging loan. This tailored solution permitted an initial withdrawal of £500,000, with the remainder of the lending available in staged drawdowns over the following three years.

Opting for a variable rate, the solution boasted no early repayment charges, aligning perfectly with the clients’ future plans to downsize. This approach mitigated the need for regular income proof through a high-net-worth exemption, facilitating fast-track processing, securing the loan based on the existing home equity and without disrupting their cash flow for business investment and growth.

Outcome, Benefits, And Key Takeaways

The deployment of the tailored bridging loan concluded successfully within an efficient three-week timeframe.

What Is A High Net Worth Exemption Mortgage?

A high net worth exemption mortgage is lending arranged under rules that allow a lender to assess affordability differently for clients who meet a defined wealth test.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) defines a high net worth mortgage customer as someone with an annual net income of no less than £300,000, or net assets of no less than £3,000,000, or whose obligations are guaranteed by a person meeting one of those tests.

Where a client meets that test, the FCA’s rules allow a lender to apply a modified affordability assessment in place of the standard one.
