Million Pound Mortgages Manchester
Last updated: 14th May 2025
At Manchester Money, we specialise in arranging bespoke million pound mortgages for individuals purchasing or refinancing high-value property.

What Is a Million Pound Mortgage?
A million pound mortgage is exactly what it sounds like – a loan of £1,000,000 or more used to purchase or refinance high-value property. These loans often apply to prime residential homes, buy-to-let investments, or larger estates in areas such as Manchester, Cheshire, or other affluent parts of the UK.
Because of the size of the loan, million pound mortgages differ significantly from standard mortgages in terms of affordability assessments, lender expectations, and flexibility.
Who Is Eligible for a Million Pound Mortgage?
While the financial criteria are more demanding, million pound mortgages are accessible to a wide range of borrowers. You may be eligible if you are:
- A high-earning professional (doctors, lawyers, business executives, etc.)
- A successful entrepreneur or business owner
- A self-employed contractor with strong earnings
- A high-net-worth individual with substantial assets
- An expat or overseas investor
Lenders will evaluate your income, assets, credit profile, and existing financial commitments. They’ll also consider complex income such as dividends, bonuses, profit shares, or overseas earnings.
Lenders & Mortgage Products Available
For high-value loans, lender choice is key. At Manchester Money, we work with a wide panel of mainstream banks, private banks, and specialist lenders offering:
- Private Bank Mortgages – bespoke underwriting with flexible criteria
- Interest-Only Options – ideal for managing monthly cash flow
- Offset Mortgages – useful for borrowers with savings or lump sums
- Tracker, Variable & Fixed Rate Deals – tailored to your market risk tolerance
- Portfolio Mortgages – consolidate multiple investment properties under one facility
Each case is approached individually, and we match your financial profile with the right lender for your circumstances.
Deposit Requirements & Loan-to-Value (LTV)
Million pound mortgages often require a larger deposit than standard loans. While some lenders offer up to 85% LTV, most high-net-worth borrowers provide at least 25–40% of the property’s value as a deposit.
Key considerations:
- Higher LTVs may mean higher rates or stricter underwriting
- Equity from other properties may be used to reduce deposit requirements
- Some lenders accept gifted deposits or company bonuses toward your deposit
Interest Rates and Costs
Interest rates for million pound mortgages are typically bespoke and depend on:
- Loan size and LTV
- Income stability and credit profile
- Type of lender (private banks tend to be more flexible)
- Repayment structure (interest-only or repayment)
Costs to factor in include:
- Arrangement and broker fees
- Property valuation (more expensive on luxury properties)
- Legal fees and stamp duty
- Early repayment charges (depending on product)
With access to exclusive rates and private lending facilities, our team ensures you secure the most cost-effective deal available.
