Our solutions

Lending Solutions
Are you buying a property, selling a business, downsizing, or retiring? Union Bancaire Privée (UK) Limited provides lending solutions to support you at all stages of life’s journey.
We know your circumstances are unique and are likely to require tailored financing solutions. That is why we offer a wide range of flexible lending products, from investment-backed lending to unlock value from an asset or investment you don’t want to sell, to tailored mortgages and loans to buy additional assets.
Our experience tells us that the most appropriate solutions can sometimes be complex. Whether your needs are straightforward or more challenging, we can arrange personalised and professionally managed lending structures. We often find ourselves liaising closely with trustees, family offices, tax advisers and other professionals to ensure we find the right route.
Flexibility, effective decision-making, execution and exceptional service are our priorities when finding the right lending solution adapted to your financing needs.
Real Estate Lending
Short- and medium-term mortgages can be a simple and effective way to borrow, whether you are buying a new home, residential investment property or looking to generate liquidity. We are particularly strong in areas other lenders find difficult to match.
Investment-backed Lending
Are you looking to take advantage of new investment opportunities or to meet other spending commitments without disrupting your long-term investment strategy? Our tailored lending solutions can help unlock liquidity from your portfolio. Investment-backed lending can also be used to add leverage to your investment strategy if required.
Please remember:
- Property is a high-risk, long-term investment, so it may not be suitable for everyone.
- We recommend that you take independent tax advice on any investment or leverage. It’s important to appreciate the specific risks associated with investment leverage before making any investment decisions.
- Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
- If you borrow to buy an investment property and fail to keep up with the required payments, the property may be repossessed, or a receiver of rents appointed
