Frequently asked questions

Can I get a £1 million pound buy-to-let mortgage?

Yes, £1 million pound buy-to-let mortgages are available against single high value rental properties, Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), and portfolios. Lenders assess the rental income coverage first, and many apply additional checks or minimum personal income requirements at larger loan sizes.

What salary do you need to buy a 1.5 million pound house?

To buy a £1.5 million property, you typically need an income of around £275,000 to £375,000, depending on deposit size. Larger deposits reduce borrowing requirements and therefore lower the income needed.

What are the repayments on a £1 million pound mortgage?

Repayments on a £1 million pound mortgage are calculated from the interest rate secured, the term chosen, and the repayment type. Shortening the term increases the monthly payment but reduces total interest, while interest only lowers the monthly cost but leaves the balance to repay at the end.

What is a million pound mortgage broker?

A million pound mortgage broker is a mortgage adviser who specialises in arranging loans of £1 million or more, with access to mainstream lenders, specialist lenders, and private banks. Whole-of-market brokers compare large loan policies across the market rather than recommending a single lender's range.

How much do you need to earn for a million pound mortgage?

The income needed for a million pound mortgage depends on each lender's income multiple and how much of your variable income they will use. Because lenders apply different multiples and treat bonus, commission, and self-employed income differently, the required income varies significantly between lenders.
