Tailored Lending for High-Net-Worth Individuals
When you’re a high-net-worth individual, your financial goals — and your lending needs — look very different from the average borrower. Standard home loan products and mainstream application processes often don’t reflect the complexity of your income, assets, or ambitions.
That’s where bespoke lending strategies come in.
🔑 Key Facts
- High-net-worth borrowers often have complex income streams, diverse assets, and bespoke structuring needs.
- Traditional lending doesn’t always align with investment goals, wealth strategies, or ownership structures.
- Specialist brokers like Flint work with private bankers, lenders, and tailored loan products.
- The right structure — whether for tax efficiency, asset protection, or portfolio expansion — is just as important as the rate.
- Flint brokers use expert knowledge of LVR, serviceability, cross-collateralisation, and trust structures to secure flexible solutions.
Why Standard Lending Doesn’t Always Work
High-income earners and asset-rich clients are often frustrated by:
- Income structures that don’t fit lender “boxes” (e.g., dividends, trusts, company profits)
- LVR caps that limit opportunities to leverage safely
- Policy-based restrictions that undervalue your portfolio or cash flow
What you need is lending that sees the bigger picture.
Lending Strategies for Sophisticated Borrowers
Custom structuring is key to optimising borrowing while protecting assets.
Options may include:
- Offset-linked lending: Manage large cash reserves while minimising interest
- Trust or company structures: Enable tax effectiveness and liability management
- Interest-only periods: Preserve liquidity for investment or business growth
- Cross-collateralisation (used carefully): Leverage existing holdings
- Use of bespoke private bank channels to unlock flexible LVR and serviceability exceptions
Specialist Lenders vs Private Bank Divisions
Not all lenders are set up to service high-net-worth clients.
Feature | Specialist Lenders | Private Bank Divisions |
Custom Structuring | ✔️ | ✔️ |
Concierge Lending Teams | ❌ | ✔️ |
Product Range | Broad | Curated |
Entry Threshold | Lower | Higher (net assets required) |
Tip: A broker can help you access the right channel based on your goals, not just your numbers.
How to Prepare for a High-Value Loan Application
Even with wealth on your side, clear preparation improves outcomes.
Steps to take:
- Work with your accountant to provide structured financials
- Prepare a clear overview of income sources and asset positions
- Be ready to explain your borrowing purpose — even if the numbers look strong
- Use a broker who can navigate policy exceptions, private channels, and complex lending rules
