About Clydesdale / Virgin Money Aircraft Finance
Clydesdale / Virgin Money is one of the lenders active in the UK turboprop finance market. Their products are typically accessed through approved brokers such as Doulton Bridging Finance, allowing us to present your application in the most favourable light and negotiate on rate and terms.
Clydesdale Bank, now part of Virgin Money, has an asset finance arm that covers aviation alongside other high-value assets. Their turboprop proposition is competitive for creditworthy borrowers and they are generally flexible on aircraft age up to around 20 years. Virgin Money's balance sheet strength and streamlined credit process can deliver decisions more quickly than some traditional aviation lenders.
Their maximum LTV of 75% is slightly more conservative than some peers, but their rate pricing from 6.8% p.a. remains compelling for well-structured applications. Balloon and interest-only periods may be available on request.
