Darlington FAQs
Common questions about private finance in Darlington
What information will I need to provide?+
KYC, source-of-wealth evidence, summary financials and the loan brief. Detailed underwriting typically follows the initial credit committee discussion.
How are repayments structured?+
Highly flexible — interest-only, amortising, bullet repayment, capital holidays. Bespoke to the client's plan.
Will I need a personal guarantee?+
Often yes, but structure varies — sometimes secured cleanly, sometimes alongside corporate or trust borrowers.
Will I need to deposit AUM with a private bank?+
Often — relationship-led lending typically wants 25–100% of the loan as AUM, depending on the bank and the deal. Some specialist lenders don't.
How is your fee structured?+
On completion only. Our fee is disclosed and agreed in writing before any market approach.
Are there fees?+
Yes — typically arrangement fees, legal fees and sometimes ongoing relationship fees. We disclose all of them upfront.
