You are likely a fit if you are looking at a loan above £1 million, have complex or multi-source income, or own property that sits outside a standard profile. Our HNW panel understands:

£1m+ Loans.

Our HNW panel engages meaningfully at loan sizes above £1 million, scaling into the tens of millions for private bank clients.

Complex Income.

Salary, dividends, bonuses, carried interest, deferred comp and retained profit, combined into one coherent case.

Your Finances.

UK and international assets, offshore structures, multi-currency positions and non-dom considerations all factored in.

Bonuses & Deferred Pay.

Multi-year bonus history and deferred compensation treated as sustainable, verifiable income.

Foreign Currency Income.

Non-GBP income assessed with sensible conversion buffers, not excessive haircuts.

Private bank underwriting runs on relationship, context and presentation. Generic broker packages get declined where bespoke ones get approved. Here is how we run your case:

Bespoke Packaging.

Your case presented in the format HNW underwriters expect, not a templated broker file.

Direct Relationships.

We call private bank BDMs before applying, confirming fit in days rather than weeks.

Parallel Options.

Where speed matters, multiple lenders run simultaneously so you are never dependent on a single outcome.

Structured Updates.

Weekly case reports throughout underwriting, so you are never left chasing for progress.

Senior-Level Handling.

Your case handled directly by a senior broker, not passed down to a junior admin team.

Wealth is often locked in investments, pensions, or illiquid assets. HNW lenders build solutions around that, rather than forcing liquidation or disrupting your tax strategy.

Interest-Only Structures.

Repayments matched to capital events on your timeline, not an artificial monthly schedule.

Asset-Backed Lending.

Leverage your existing portfolio without liquidating investments or triggering capital gains.

Offset & Hybrid.

Structures that work with your cash positions, tax-efficient where it matters.

Bridging Solutions.

Short-term bridging arranged through ABSF for auction, chain break, or time-critical purchases.

Capital Release.

Equity release from existing properties to fund investment, development or onward purchase.

Your income profile rarely fits a basic affordability calculator. HNW lenders build real models around real cashflows, including the ones that vary year to year.

Variable Income.

Multi-year view of bonuses, commission and performance pay, rather than averaging to the lowest figure.

Investment Income.

Rental yield, dividends and investment returns incorporated into affordability models.

Director Drawings.

Limited company directors assessed on what the business earns, not just what they draw personally.

Trust Distributions.

Regular trust income and carried interest structures understood and factored in properly.

Contracted Future Income.

Agreed future contracts and pipeline revenue considered where supported by evidence.

The Client Challenge

The Algorithm Ceiling

Mainstream lenders use rigid automated systems that struggle to categorise complex income like RSUs, foreign dividends, or retained business profits.

The Liquidity Penalty

Being forced to liquidate high-performing investments or disrupt your tax strategy simply to meet a bank’s “standard” deposit requirements.

The Communication Void

Losing critical time to faceless call centers and repetitive paperwork while high-value property opportunities pass you by.

How quickly can I secure a mortgage offer?

Typical offers land within 2 to 4 weeks of application on straightforward cases, and we've placed urgent cases significantly faster where lenders and valuations align. We'll give you a realistic timeline on the first call rather than an optimistic one you'll have to forget later.

Do you handle applications for complex income structures?

Yes. Self-employed directors, contractors, CIS workers, dividend-heavy earners and clients with international income all sit well within our expertise. We use lenders who consider retained profits, day rates and bonus income properly, rather than the narrow PAYE-focused calculators on the high street.

What are your professional fees for specialist advisory?

A fixed fee of £499 applies on standard residential cases, payable on issuance of the mortgage offer. For more complex cases, £249 is due on application with the balance on offer, and higher fees may apply on bespoke adverse or high-value cases. The fee is always agreed with you in writing before any advice is given.

Can you assist with property development or commercial funding?

Commercial and development finance is handled by our sister firm, AB Specialist Finance (ABSF), which holds the specific regulatory permissions for non-regulated lending. Same office, same team, different panel. You can read more on our Commercial / Bridging page or enquire directly with ABSF.

Do I need a perfect credit score to secure a mortgage?

Not at all. CCJs, defaults, IVAs, DMPs and discharged bankruptcy are all placeable with the right specialist lender. We run soft searches first to protect your credit file, and only apply where we're confident of approval. A perfect score helps, but a clear explanation and the right lender matters more.
