Coutts Mortgages
Ultra-premium private bank mortgages from Coutts. Bespoke structuring for the most complex wealth profiles and highest-value properties.
The most exclusive mortgage service in the UK
Coutts has been the bank of choice for the UK's wealthiest individuals and families since 1692. Their mortgage service operates at a level that no other UK bank can match, with genuinely bespoke lending that starts from the borrower's needs rather than from a standard product menu.
For ultra-high-net-worth borrowers acquiring prime London residences, country estates, or international properties, Coutts offers lending capability, discretion, and personal service without parallel. Through Doulton, we facilitate introductions and manage the process alongside your private banking team.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a Coutts mortgage through Doulton?
Yes. We hold broker agencies with Coutts where available and can access their intermediary product range. Where Coutts is not the right fit, we will benchmark their offer against every other lender on our panel and recommend the most cost-effective overall deal.
Why apply to Coutts via a broker rather than direct?
Most UK mortgage lenders reserve a portion of their range - often including their sharpest rates - for intermediary-introduced business. Going through a broker also means you are not locked to one lender's criteria: if Coutts cannot take your case, we can place it elsewhere without a declined application showing on your credit file.
What LTV and loan size does Coutts offer?
Coutts's maximum LTV and loan size vary by product and property type. We check current criteria at the point of enquiry - residential, buy-to-let, high-value and specialist ranges each have their own limits. Tell us your requirement and we will come back with exactly what Coutts can support today.
What if my application is complex - non-standard income, expat status, adverse credit?
Mainstream high-street lenders are rarely the right home for complex applications. We work with specialist, private and challenger banks alongside the names you will recognise, which means we can often place cases that would be rejected by a direct approach.
How long does a mortgage application take?
Typical timelines are 2-4 weeks from application to offer for straightforward cases, and 4-8 weeks for cases needing valuation, specialist underwriting or complex income review. Exchange and completion after that is driven by your conveyancer's pace.
