How do I find a large loan mortgage broker?
Who offers larger mortgages these days?
As property prices in and around London and our other big metropolitan cities continue to rise into the millions, you may find that you need a larger mortgage to secure the kind of home you want to live in. The problem is that many high street lenders simply won’t lend above the £1m mortgage mark.
John Charcol is an expert in helping high net worth and high income clients to arrange larger mortgages. We approach specialist lenders and private banks who we know are willing to lend on a larger scale, particularly if the borrower is supported by a professional mortgage broker like John Charcol.
Are lending limits rising in line with property price rises?
Many of our high net worth and high income clients are finding that standard lending limits simply don't go high enough for the kind of property they want to buy. It is not unusual to raise a mortgage for more than a million pounds when wanting to purchase a property, either to live in or as an investment in or around London, Manchester, Birmingham Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol or other desirable locations.
If you’re looking for a larger mortgage, you need to make a case to one of the specialist lenders or private banks who are used to arranging loans for larger sums.
How can John Charcol help with larger mortgages?
We are possibly the biggest and most established arranger of larger mortgages in the UK. We’ll spend time looking at your personal financial situation and do our best to build a case for the loan you need.
With years of experience and excellent contacts, we know who to approach in order to secure larger mortgages at competitive rates. As a respected broker we can:
- Talk directly with underwriters at specialist lenders and private banks who we know have a proven track record in closing larger mortgage deals
- Understand structures like family trusts, offshore investments, international wealth and multi-currency income profiles and present a compelling case on your behalf
- Manage larger mortgages for UK and foreign nationals and deal with any other financial or professional advisers you may wish to be involved
- Find competitive rates even on very large mortgages (we regularly arrange mortgages of multiple millions for clients)
- Move quickly enough to ensure that you get the home or property investment you have set your heart on, as time is often a factor in larger deals

Frequently asked questions
How much of my bonus can be counted as earnings for a larger mortgage application?
That depends on the lender. Some High Street lenders will use 25% of the last bonus added onto the basic salary...some will take 100%. We know who is best to approach when bonuses are part of the equation.
If the high street lenders tell me I can’t get the multiple on my salary, are there other places I can go?
Yes. We deal with regional building societies, private banks and other niche lenders who will look at each client on an individual basis. The range of income multiples can be as high as five times or more.
As a foreign national, can I still get a UK mortgage?
Yes…it helps if you are living in the UK, but if you are outside of the UK we can still assist. It really helps if you have a global tax adviser or work for a large international corporation. Keep in mind there are some countries that do not allow their citizens the ability to borrow towards a property purchase.
Can you help me to arrange a mortgage around my busy work schedule?
At Charcol we’re used to working with high net worth individuals who are under real time pressure. That’s why we come to you and fit in with your schedule.
I want a flexible mortgage that allows me to use my bonus to reduce it each year in significant payments. Can that be arranged?
We’re expert at arranging this kind of mortgage, making the best of low rates of borrowing with capital payments when bonuses are available.
Is there a fast-track service so that I can secure the property I have my eye on now?
Unlike high street lenders we’re fast and nimble, so if you need us to talk to an Estate Agent or make things happen fast to secure a particular property, we’ll do everything we can to make that happen.
Can I speak to someone with the authority to make decisions based on my real circumstances rather than computer-set limitations?
Yes. At Charcol our consultants are all experienced independent financial advisers. We often arrange London City mortgages through reputable private banks and investment houses who have much more flexibility on who they lend to and how much they will lend.

This mortgage would not have been possible with the JC team. They listened to and understood the individual circumstances (which presented a notable challenge) and delivered an amazing result. Perseverance and dedication were outstanding. Thank you!

Randeep Sodhi, who dealt with my mortgage, was absolutely great. Very attentive and accommodating and found me a great deal. I do not hestitate to recommend Randeep Sodhi and also Amanda Allum (who was also very helpful in chasing up the solicitors) at John Charcol.

From the first appointment, my mortgage consultant Jessica Childs made the whole process easy. She worked extremely hard to get me a great mortgage, and when my changing financial circumstances complicated the whole thing, she was really resourceful in finding other options. I would definitely come back to John Charcol if I ever needed a mortgage again, and hope that Jessica was still working for the company.
