How to get a million pound mortgage

Using a specialist whole of market mortgage broker is good practice. A broker based on your circumstances will be able to match you with the right lender. 

Whether a high street bank or private bank is the right option will depend on your requirements and your personal wealth and income arrangements.

The lowest rates are often available through high street banks whilst the greatest flexibility is often found with private banks. Private banks are less likely to be put off by common issues experienced by high net worth individuals e.g. complex income streams, non UK residency and income paid in a foreign currency. 

For a private bank mortgage as a general rule, you are likely to need an income in excess of £300,000 per year, or net assets of £3million, to qualify for a £1million mortgage, although the exact criteria will entirely depend on the lender and your personal circumstances. If you can provide a 25% deposit, you are likely to find it much easier to borrow at this level.

If you are looking for a buy-to-let mortgage, the lender is likely to want the monthly rental income to exceed the mortgage payments.

However, private lenders may also be willing to take your other income into account, meaning you can often borrow more than would otherwise be the case.

A good broker will be able to determine the best route for your finance needs.

Getting an interest-only large mortgage as a non-UK resident

One of the big plus points of borrowing from a private bank is that they are open to lending to expats and foreign nationals.

Both British ex-pats and foreign nationals living abroad can usually qualify for interest-only mortgages of a million pounds or more as long as they meet set lending criteria.
