High-Net-Worth Private Equity Partner Secures High-Value £2.2M Mortgage Despite Limited Drawn Income

CASE STUDY

Securing a high-value mortgage can be particularly challenging for individuals with complex financial circumstances, as was the case for our client—a founding partner of a private equity firm domiciled in Belgium but residing in the UK. While the client had a strong financial history and substantial assets, they hadn’t drawn any immediate income from the business, which made obtaining a mortgage more difficult. Faced with a tight deadline to purchase their £3.4m family home, they needed our support to navigate these complexities swiftly and effectively.

Overcoming Financial Complexity

Despite the client’s impressive asset base, their lack of immediate income presented a significant hurdle in securing a mortgage. Many lenders would have seen this as too great a challenge. However, we recognised the broader picture and confidently took on the case, knowing we could deliver the right solution. The client was introduced to us by a trusted professional introducer who valued our expertise in handling complex, high-net-worth cases.

Our first step was to conduct an in-depth analysis of the client’s financial background. By understanding how their wealth had been generated and assessing the strength of their assets, we constructed a compelling narrative that highlighted their financial stability, despite the absence of current income. This strategic insight was crucial in presenting the case to lenders in a way that underscored the client’s long-term financial strength.

A Strategic Solution

With our deep understanding of the client’s financial profile, we approached a lender, who allowed us to monetise the client’s assets to balance their strong asset position against their temporary lack of drawn income. This nuanced approach instilled confidence in the lenders, resulting in multiple offers. Ultimately, allowing us to secure a £2.2m mortgage on highly favourable terms—without the client needing to pledge additional assets.

The deal was financed at a competitive rate on a five-year tracker over the Bank of England base rate, enabling the client to proceed with the purchase of their £3.4m family home. This outcome highlights the value of detailed financial analysis and a bespoke approach to navigating complex cases.

Managing Expectations

What truly set this case apart was our ability to manage expectations on both sides. By maintaining clear, open communication between the client and the lender, we ensured that both parties felt confident throughout the process. Our strategic handling of the case not only ensured a successful mortgage arrangement but also resulted in a smooth transaction that exceeded expectations for all involved.
