An introducer contacted us regarding a client purchasing an apartment in St John’s Wood.
- Middle Eastern UBO
- Multi‑National Conglomerate Owner
- £5,300,000
- 8 Years, Interest Only
- LTV 75.00% / Rate 1.84% + BoE / Fee 0.50%
The family’s interests span oil and gas, logistics, manufacturing and real estate, with assets valued in excess of $1 billion.
There were heightened compliance considerations due to the client’s background, profile and the cross‑border nature of the transaction.
Many private banks required assets under management alongside the mortgage, which the client was unwilling to transfer from existing institutions.
Leveraging our long‑standing relationships with offshore lenders, we identified an international branch of a global bank comfortable with the risk profile and structure, and able to offer lending on competitive terms, importantly, without requiring AUM.
This demonstrates the value of deep market knowledge and trusted relationships across multiple jurisdictions.
