  • Our clients, a seasoned property developer and a successful entrepreneur, sought to remortgage their £5.5 million home to raise £1,000,000 for renovations, business investment, and school fees.
  • Due to their complex and fluctuating income, traditional mortgage underwriting posed significant delays and challenges, with expected timelines of 6–8 weeks and extensive documentation requirements.
  • Private Finance delivered a bespoke solution: a five-year roll-up bridging loan secured against the home, allowing for an immediate £500,000 release and further staged drawdowns over three years—without monthly repayments or income proof.
  • The loan was secured in just three weeks, with no early repayment charges, offering the clients financial flexibility and liquidity while supporting their long-term plan to downsize.

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.

Main outcomes and benefits:

  • Immediate Funding Access: The clients benefitted from an instant £500,000 to kickstart their immediate financial commitments.
  • Personalised Drawdown Facility: Ensured additional funds were accessible as required, providing a cushion that aligned with ongoing project needs and investment opportunities.
  • Financial Flexibility: The absence of fixed monthly repayments granted our clients to reinvest in their business operations, maximising their growth potential while planning for a strategic downsize to repay the mortgage in the future.
