The private banking route

Most overseas buyers never know this option exists

Most buyers researching property finance abroad start with an obvious search — a French mortgage, a Spanish mortgage, property finance in Portugal. They expect it to work like a loan they recognise, just in a different country.

A significant number find that their financial profile doesn’t fit what retail lenders in those markets can accommodate. This includes:

  • Dividend, carried interest or retained company profits
  • Earnings across multiple currencies or jurisdictions
  • Assets in investment portfolios, bonds or structured products
  • Purchasing through an SCI, holding company or offshore structure
  • Financing above €1 million where retail terms fall short
  • Declined or under-offered despite strong underlying finances

Private banks assess the complete picture.
Let’s work out if this route is right for you.

Rather than asking whether income fits a formula, international private banks assess the complete financial picture — and structure financing around that.

If your situation is complex, a first conversation will quickly establish whether our network is the right fit.

What’s different

How private bank mortgages work

Many of our clients don’t fit the standard affordability model — self-employed with variable income, holding assets under management rather than salary, purchasing through an SCI or holding company, or requiring finance above €1 million. Standard lenders often decline or under-offer on these profiles. We don’t.

Holistic Assessment

Underwritten against total wealth — assets, portfolios, business interests, and all income streams together. A strong balance sheet is the starting point, not a salary figure.

Available from €1 million

Private bank financing is available from €1m. At this level, terms, flexibility and discretion are typically meaningfully better than what retail lenders can offer.

Interest-only, including 100%

Full interest-only financing — including 100% interest-only — is available for qualifying clients. Not offered through French, Spanish or Portuguese retail lenders.

Lombard lending

Use an existing investment portfolio as collateral without liquidating it. Retain full investment value while financing the property — a structure retail lenders cannot offer.

Multi-currency

Where income or assets are held in sterling, USD, AED, HKD or SGD, financing can be structured to reduce or eliminate currency conversion exposure.

Complex ownership structures

Private banks regularly lend to buyers purchasing through SCIs, holding companies, offshore structures and family trusts — arrangements retail lenders typically cannot support.

Our Network

Private bank relationships built over 25 years

Access to international private banks is not something that can be established quickly. These are relationship-led institutions — they do not accept unsolicited applications and work with a very small number of intermediaries. Our relationships in Monaco, Switzerland and Luxembourg have been built over more than two decades and represent access that most brokers, including specialist international brokers, cannot offer.

Luxembourg

For a client purchasing above €1 million with complex income or significant investable assets, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between a structure that works and one that doesn’t.

How we work

Every situation is different.
We find the solution that fits.

1

Tell us about your situation

A candid first conversation about your income structure, assets, and what you’re looking to acquire. We’ll tell you quickly whether private bank financing is the right route — and if so, which institutions are most likely to suit your profile.

2

We identify the right bank

Private banks differ significantly in appetite, structure, and the client profiles they favour. We assess your position against our network in Monaco, Switzerland and Luxembourg and identify the bank best placed to lend — before any introduction is made.

3

We position & present your case

How a case is presented to a private bank matters as much as the numbers. We structure and articulate your financial profile in the way that aligns with how that bank assesses risk — giving your case the strongest possible foundation.

4

From offer to completion

Once terms are agreed, we manage the process through to formal offer and completion — coordinating with the bank, your legal team, and the notary so nothing falls between the gaps.

Get Started

Discuss your financing options

If your income or asset profile may not fit a standard mortgage, we can assess whether private bank financing is the right route. All conversations are confidential and without obligation.
