Mortgages Without Assets Under Management

At LDN Finance, we understand high-value mortgages often require a bespoke and tailored approach where you may wish to have the flexibility of not having to place assets with the lender.

Traditionally, high net worth individuals looking to begin a private banking relationship have been required to place assets under management (AUM) as security against a large loan. However, as the market has become more saturated and competitive, many lenders now offer large mortgages without assets under management – basing applications on the client’s overall profile and not just the deal in question.

With access to a huge number of mainstream, private, and specialist lenders, our expert advisers are perfectly positioned to help you secure high-value property finance and nurture a new private banking relationship. As such, your personal broker will secure you the very best bespoke solution for your needs, whether you’re purchasing a multi-million home in Belgravia, remortgaging an existing asset to release equity or looking to expand your high-value buy to let portfolio.

To discuss your circumstances in more detail, get in contact with our expert private client advisers today. Alternatively, we have a dedicated Private Clients site, which provides more details for high-net-worth individuals, for more information contact us.

What is dry lending?

Over recent years, private banks and specialist lenders have been forced to react to a changing property finance market. As more mainstream and commercial lenders have begun to enter the high-net-worth mortgage space and offer loans above £1 million, the private banking sector has had to become more flexible to remain competitive. Whilst private banking relationships traditionally relied upon the client placing AUM with the bank (such as cash, stocks, and shares), private banks are now increasingly reducing their asset requirements when offering large loans.

Mortgages without assets under management, also known as ‘dry lending’, are when assets do not need to be transferred to the bank to secure a mortgage. Instead, the private bank assesses each client’s affordability by taking their wider wealth, income and asset profile into account – no matter where the assets are held. This enables our expert brokers to present your full financial circumstances to our extensive network of commercial and private banks to secure a large mortgage without assets under management that best suits your requirements.

Testimonials

Our happy clients

My fiancée and I were recommended to LDN Finance when we started our mortgage journey, and the service we have received, and continue to receive, has been outstanding throughout. Phil Levesley initially looked after us and made what can be a very daunting process feel straightforward and easy to understand. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. As part of the process, we also wanted to explore a number of protection policies, and Phil introduced us to his colleague,

Owen was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way throughout the mortgage process. He was always clear, patient, and incredibly reassuring, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Bharathy was also really helpful, promptly getting in touch and making sure all the relevant information was handled efficiently.
