Mill Hill and Totteridge property and what lenders look for
Large detached homes
Totteridge, Arkley and parts of Mill Hill have substantial houses where loans can run well into seven figures. Private banks and specialist lenders can assess your whole balance sheet rather than income alone.
Green belt homes with land
Homes with paddocks, outbuildings or extra land need careful valuation, and some lenders limit how much land they will accept. We match the property to lenders comfortable with it before you apply.
Rebuilds and major extensions
Replacing or substantially extending a home is common here, and green belt planning rules can shape what is possible. Staged development or self-build finance often fits better than a standard mortgage, followed by a refinance once the work is complete.
Business owner income
Lenders differ widely on salary, dividends and retained profits. We present your income the way the right lender wants to see it, so you are not limited by your personal tax return alone.

Frequently asked questions
Which areas do you cover around Mill Hill?
We advise clients across Mill Hill, Totteridge, Whetstone, Arkley, High Barnet, Finchley, Hendon, Edgware, Stanmore, Radlett and Elstree, in person, by phone and by video call.
Can I get a mortgage on a home with land or outbuildings?
Often, yes. Some lenders limit the amount of land or the use of outbuildings they will accept, so we place the case with lenders comfortable with the property from the start.
Can I knock down and rebuild in the green belt?
It depends on planning. Where permission is granted, the build is usually funded through staged self-build or development finance, then refinanced onto a standard mortgage when the new home is complete.
Can I buy before I sell?
Often, yes. Bridging finance can secure your purchase while your current home is sold. We set out the costs and the exit plan before you proceed.
