Securing property finance with multiple or non-traditional income streams can be challenging through conventional lenders. At Million Plus, we specialise in complex income mortgages, providing bespoke financing solutions for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and professionals with sophisticated financial profiles.
Why Traditional Lenders Struggle with Complex Incomes
Standard mortgage providers typically evaluate applications using rigid criteria that favour traditional employment with a single, consistent income source. This approach creates significant challenges if your income comes from:
- Business ownership or directorship
- Investment portfolios and dividends
- International or foreign currency earnings
- Commission, bonuses, or performance-based pay
- Multiple income streams or side ventures
- Trust distributions or inherited wealth
- Digital assets or cryptocurrency holdings
As a result, many successful individuals find themselves unfairly penalised despite having substantial wealth and strong financial positions.
Our Approach to Complex Income Mortgages
At Million Plus, we take a fundamentally different approach to mortgages with complex incomes. Led by Paul Welch, who has arranged over £4.2 billion in financing, our team looks beyond simplistic income multiples to understand the full scope of your financial situation.
“When you look at a complex income structure, most high street lenders can’t see past their rigid box-ticking exercises. What we do is take a holistic view of your wealth, not just focusing on what you earn, but how you earn it and what assets support your overall position.”

Holistic Financial Assessment
Unlike most mortgage brokers, we analyse your complete financial position:
“We spend time with clients and listen carefully to understand their requirements. The most important thing is to look at the balance sheet – what assets do you have that may not be fully utilised? Is it easier to raise money against those assets to provide additional liquidity?”
Complex Income Mortgage Types
Private Bank Mortgages
For clients with significant assets or earning potential, private bank mortgages offer advantages including:
- Individual underwriting decisions rather than automated assessments
- Consideration of bonus income, carried interest, and other variable compensation
- Relationship-based lending that considers your broader financial profile

For entrepreneurs or business owners, we can facilitate:
- Commercial mortgages secured against business premises

International Solutions
For clients with foreign income or international assets:
“When dealing with currency risk, income in foreign currencies introduces exchange rate risk. We have Global Currency Specialists that can lock in various exchange rates to give the lender additional comfort.”
