Securing a mortgage for £5 million or more can be difficult on the high street. Most mainstream lenders aren’t equipped to offer a mortgage of this amount, but the good news is that there are private lenders who specialise in high net worth individuals.
This article covers how to go about getting a mortgage for £5 million or more, how to find a suitable lender, and what other factors are taken into consideration before a mortgage provider will authorise an application for a loan of this size.
Can you get a £5 million mortgage?
You might find it difficult to get a mortgage of this amount on the high street as many lenders have maximum loan caps in place that prevent that from offering loans of £5 million, but there are private lenders who have no such restrictions.
Private mortgage lenders specialise in high net worth individuals who need mortgages larger than what’s available on the high street.
As long as you meet the affordability criteria for a £5 million mortgage, the right lender will consider offering you a bespoke deal.
One thing to bear in mind, though: private lenders can be difficult to find and approach without the help of a mortgage broker.
here are advisors in our network who work exclusively with high net worth customers, and they have deep working relationships with the mortgage providers you’d need to approach.

Why is it more difficult to get a mortgage of this size?
The most common issue for those looking to take out a mortgage as large as £5 million and up is finding a willing mortgage lender.
Many mainstream providers have limits on how much money they will lend a potential borrower due to the associated risk; after all, spreading the load across multiple applicants is far less risky than authorising one large mortgage.
What’s more, higher-value loans require additional specialist treatment and expertise than you would expect with your average mortgage, meaning fewer providers are able to cater for your needs.
This leaves private banks as the most likely source of a high-value mortgage, and many of these are only approachable through a mortgage broker.
Other factors that will affect your chances of approval
The thing to remember about mortgages of £5 million and up is that the terms and criteria can be bespoke if you qualify for high net worth exemption.
That said, the following factors might still be taken into account when the lender is assessing what kind of deal you qualify for…
LTV requirements can vary from one private lender to the next and are usually set on a case-by-case basis.
For example, one lender could cap the amount you can borrow at £1 million for 95% LTV applicants, £4 million at 80% and £5.5 million at 75% or under.
Your individual situation will play a key role as to the rates you’re offered and how much you can borrow.
Some mortgage lenders may be happy to loan a £5 million mortgage at an LTV of 80% – situation dependant.
This is usually based on income multiples capped at anywhere between 4.5 times salary and 6 times salary, but if you’re a high net worth individual, it may be possible to borrow based on 7 times your income, or based on an even higher salary multiple than this.
As private lenders usually offer bespoke deals on a case-by-case basis, they are free to set their own rules on bad credit.
If you have a severe credit problem such as a bankruptcy or a repossession on your file, this is likely to be taken into account when the mortgage provider assesses what kind of deal you qualify for, or even whether they offer you a £5 million mortgage at all.

Absolute Fab: I got a mortgage as an ex-bankrupt !!!
As an ex-bankrupt with a qualified Annulment I had to take several bridging loans to cover my debt. I found Online Mortgage Advisor who offered fantastic but specific insight to my issues. Within 6 weeks we exchanged contracts and I am now debt-free, and my house is safe.
