We have been able to arrange a competitively priced £1.625 million mortgage for a client with offshore income. To discuss this or any other large mortgage case, please contact us now.
Case profile
The client, who had relocated to Abu Dhabi to work and had rented out his former main residence in the UK, was looking to purchase a pied-a-terre in London. The purchase price was £2.5 million and the client wanted to borrow £1.625 million. He needed an offer within 4 weeks to secure the property.
The client’s income in Abu Dhabi was tax free and paid in US dollars. This meant he was not a UK taxpayer and consequently most high street lenders would not take into account his income. Also, the client’s income was insufficient to allow him to borrow up to £ 1.625 million, unless we could find him a lender who would take into account his earnings were paid tax free, and therefore equivalent to a higher taxable income.
The solution
Using our extensive range of private banking contacts, we were quickly able to find a bank that was comfortable with the client’s ex-pat status, would take into consideration the client’s tax-free earnings, and would gross up the client’s income to lend £1.625 million on an interest only basis.
