Leeds FAQs
Common questions about private finance in Leeds
What about second-charge private lending?+
Available for the right deal — typically against high-value residential security.
What loan sizes does private finance suit?+
Generally £250k upwards, with no real upper limit. The ratio of complexity to size matters more than size alone.
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.
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.
What about offshore borrowers?+
Yes — many private banks lend to offshore and non-UK-resident clients, subject to KYC/AML and source-of-wealth standards.
How is your fee structured?+
On completion only. Our fee is disclosed and agreed in writing before any market approach.
