Private Bank Mortgages

Private Bank Mortgages

Our Private Bank Broker Services:

Private bank mortgages offer the ideal solution for High Net Worth individuals. This is because private banks assess every mortgage application on a case by case basis. The often complex income streams of High Net Worth individuals are not always conducive to high street lenders and therefore a private bank mortgage is often better aligned to this case.

Consider this case in which Articus Finance has successfully secured a large UK Private Bank Mortgage for a Foreign National in Switzerland.

If you are looking to secure a high-value loan with complex income or an extensive asset portfolio, a private bank could offer you the flexibility and bespoke approach to suit your circumstances.

Articus are completely whole of market and can therefore approach any lender/institution enabling us to secure bespoke private bank mortgages. Get in touch today.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Private Bank mortgage is a home loan provided by exclusive financial institutions catering to high-net-worth individuals. Unlike regular mortgages offered by traditional lenders, Private Bank mortgages are tailored to meet the unique financial needs and preferences of affluent clients.

These mortgages often come with personalised terms, higher loan amounts, and a more flexible approach to underwriting.

Private Bank mortgages offer several advantages, including:

  • Tailored Solutions: Private Banks customise mortgage terms to match individual financial goals and circumstances.
  • Higher Loan Limits: These mortgages often provide access to larger loan amounts compared to regular mortgages.
  • Personalised Service: Clients receive dedicated relationship managers who provide personalised guidance throughout the mortgage process.
  • Flexible Underwriting: Private Banks may consider a broader range of assets and income sources when evaluating eligibility.
  • Wealth Management Integration: Some Private Banks integrate mortgage services with broader wealth management strategies.

The difference with a private bank mortgage lender is that they are often prepared to be flexible on some of their criteria. A Private banker, for example, may be prepared to lend on higher risk properties if they are sure that the finance is there to fund the project or lend at a higher loan to value for the right client.

Such are the complexities that can be involved in high net worth individuals accessing large loans, it is often best to use an experienced mortgage broker to ensure that the application process is as comprehensive as possible.

The presentation of your case is paramount, the relationships we have with private banks and private bankers ensure that we can get the best deal for our clients, even if their situation is complex.

The short answer is no – read our case study as an example. Having said that, AUM is the main focus for private banks and private bankers meaning you will be required to bring AUM to access the best possible rates.

Similar to the rest of the private banking process, the amount of AUM (if any) needed to access a particular private bank varies. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Private bank mortgages will judge each application on its merits rather than following a strict criteria, or tick list, as many high street lenders tend to use. The complexity of high value mortgages and the income streams involved can lead to application difficulties. Using our industry leading mortgage brokers will give you access to the very best private lenders and very best private bank mortgage rates, as well as expertise in understanding your own individual situation and translating this into a successful application to our private bank network.

High street lenders tend not to have the underwriting expertise to offer large mortgages to clients who have complex financial affairs, so finding the right deal for your circumstances can be difficult. Private banks and private bankers will take into account many income streams and will not always look for a standard number of years of accounts or traditionally steady income streams.

Private mortgage banks can potentially offer large mortgages to high net worth individuals. They are also likely to offer better deals than high street lenders, with the emphasis very much on individual circumstances rather than to satisfy criteria. Private banks are also likely to offer a tailored service in the long term, meaning that there may be more flexibility.

In addition to access to large loans, you may also be considered for an interest-only loan, or be able to use multiple income streams to prove your eligibility for higher loan amounts during the mortgage application process. The private banking world is also able to work with you on a personal level, and are more likely to reach an agreement with you that is suitable to both parties.
