At AJL Mortgages, we work closely with specialist lenders to secure these exclusive mortgages, offering a level of personalisation not typically available through mainstream providers.

What is a High Net Worth Individual?

A high net worth individual (HNWI) is defined by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as someone with an annual net income of at least £300,000 or net assets of £3 million or more. These figures must apply to you as an individual—not shared with a partner—and your assets should be reasonably liquid, meaning they can be converted into cash quickly and easily.

If you fall into this category, your financial circumstances likely require a tailored approach when it comes to borrowing. At AJL Mortgages, our experienced high net worth mortgage advisers specialise in finding bespoke lending solutions designed around your unique situation, no matter how complex it may be.

Why Do HNW Individuals Need Specialised Mortgage Solutions?

Traditional mortgage providers often aren’t equipped to handle the intricacies of a high net worth profile. Your income may stem from multiple or non-traditional sources—such as business profits, investment returns, or property portfolios—and your assets might span luxury vehicles, art collections, or global real estate.

Mainstream lenders tend to follow rigid affordability criteria and standardised processes, making it difficult to get the flexibility or understanding your situation demands. That’s why it’s essential to work with brokers who specialise in high net worth cases—and have the lender relationships to match.

How AJL Mortgages Can Help

Exclusive Access to Private & Specialist Lenders

Many private banks and bespoke lenders operate strictly by referral and don’t deal with clients directly. At AJL Mortgages, we’ve cultivated long-standing relationships with private banks, family offices, and specialist lenders, giving our clients direct access to tailored solutions not available on the high street.

Bespoke Mortgage Solutions

We understand that time-sensitive decisions, complex income structures, and high-value assets require a personalised approach. Whether you're purchasing a primary residence, investing in property, or financing against assets such as SIPPs, investment portfolios, artwork, yachts, or aircraft, we have the expertise to help.

We also assist with structured finance for development projects, commercial ventures, and trust-based arrangements, ensuring your mortgage aligns seamlessly with your broader financial goals.

Do I Need to Be a UK Resident to Qualify?

Not at all. Whether you’re a foreign national, a non-UK resident, an expatriate, or a UK resident with overseas income, AJL Mortgages can help. We work with a wide network of private banks and specialist lenders who cater to global clients and understand cross-border financial structures.

Why Might You Take Out a Mortgage as a High Net Worth Individual?

Even with substantial wealth, there are many reasons why taking out a mortgage might make strategic sense:

  • Your wealth is tied up in assets rather than cash
  • You prefer to keep capital liquid for future investment opportunities
  • You have an irregular or deferred income (e.g., bonuses, dividends, or profit distributions)
  • You’re purchasing residential or commercial property as part of a long-term wealth-building strategy
  • You’re exploring tax planning opportunities or aiming to protect other investments
