Oportfolio has access to exclusive criteria and products from Coutts private bank
In as diverse a market as the London mortgage scene, it is so important for brokers to be able to cater to a wide range of borrowers. At Oportfolio Mortgages, we collaborate with private banks such as Coutts to provide tailored solutions for high net worth individuals. With a minimum loan size of £1 million, Coutts caters to a distinct clientele, and we at Oportfolio are proud to extend our expertise in navigating the intricacies of Coutts mortgage offerings to our clients.
Coutts – High Net Worth Mortgage Solutions
Established in 1692 and one of the oldest banks in the world, Coutts offers mortgage loans for those seeking higher borrowing levels. While the bank may come with a slightly higher price tag compared to mainstream lenders, it compensates with unparalleled flexibility when it comes to mortgage application considerations. Whereas most high street banks and building societies are mostly firm on what they will and won’t accept, more specialist lenders and private banks like Coutts can be a very useful tool. With the help from a knowledgeable mortgage broker like Oportfolio.
Why Is Coutts Worthwhile?
This week, Jenna Chesterman business development manager at Coutts joined our team at the Oportfolio head office to share some key lending criteria and special exclusive criteria that Oportfolio has access to. One distinctive feature of Coutts is its consideration of assets over strictly earned income in the affordability assessment. Oportfolio’s experienced mortgage advisors can guide clients through strategies that leverage their asset-rich portfolios to secure favourable terms with Coutts, even if their earned income might not meet conventional requirements.
