Case Profile
The client was looking to buy a high value, new build property in London, as a main residence. However, the client’s complex income structure, the high Loan to Value (LTV) of 85% required and his limited liquidity, made sourcing a mortgage challenging.
The client is a US national living and working in London, and already owns multiple properties. He is paid directly from his US employer in Dollars, and also pays tax in the US. Although the client has a strong salary, two thirds of it is made up of non-guaranteed bonuses, all of which is deferred and vests over three years. All of this income needed to be taken into account to meet affordability criteria. Many lenders are not happy to take a view on complex income structures like this.
The client had an offer accepted to buy the new build London flat. However, most lenders will restrict LTV on new build properties. This was a challenge, as the client’s liquid capital is currently limited; he only had a 15% deposit available.
As a result of his irregular income, he required a mortgage structured on an interest only basis in order to fit with his income stream. Additionally, the client wanted a fixed rate mortgage, which many private banks would not offer.
Solution
At largemortgageloans.com, our Mortgage Managers have comprehensive experience in advising on large and residential complex mortgages. Additionally, we have strong relationships with over 80 lenders, worldwide. We were, therefore, able to assist the client in sourcing an appropriate international private bank mortgage.
We took the time to understand the client’s overall financial position, and were able to put together a bespoke solution for them. We have strong relationships with a range of private banks, including ones who lend to US citizens, and assess affordability on the client’s whole income, none of which needs to be taxed in the UK.
We presented the case to the lender, who accepted the client’s circumstances and requirements, which were comprised of a high value new build property, along with a complex income structure at the LTV required. We negotiated for the client to pay the interest only on a monthly basis, with annual capital down payments, timed to coincide with the receipt of annual vesting bonus payments, which suits the client perfectly.
The client was happy with the mortgage terms presented, and secured the funding needed to purchase his new London home.
