As a High Net Worth specialist, we predominantly assist clients looking to borrow over £1m. We find that the larger the mortgage, the more likely it is that a client will have interest only.

As the monthly payments are much lower on interest only, the wealthy tend to reinvest this in other assets such as stocks as they feel it can potentially give them a higher return.

When looking to finance your property, it is always prudent to speak to a few banks or a specialist adviser, as even a 0.25% saving can be significant. We find that HNW clients are very focused on saving as much as possible on any cost of borrowing, we have the flexibility to negotiate with private banks.

Hi, we conducted a survey during a talk and workshop about estate planning amongst a mixed group of people, we found that those with CEO and director job roles tended to have been active with estate planning, this means more than putting in place a valid Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney because the process enables you to assess your lifetime inheritance tax planning - easy wins like paying a sum into a pension pot, setting aside small but regular tax-free sums as gifts to family or into savings accounts and business investments can create a healthy portfolio of wealth without much effort, but it all starts with being conscious of your assets and empowering yourself with financial knowledge through active estate planning, if left unattended then often it’s too late to make as much difference, the earlier the better for greater returns!

The most important thing you can do to help you get to the best financial position is to invest in yourself.

By developing new skills or expanding your knowledge, you’ll become more valuable to employers or clients, leading to higher pay, more lucrative job opportunities and ultimately achieve financial freedom.

Investing in yourself can help you identify and pursue your passions, making it more likely that you will be motivated to work hard and achieve financial success.
Investing in financial literacy and having the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed and effective decisions regarding money management, investing, and financial planning is crucial.

Often underlooked is the benefit of having a strong network. Networking can help you learn about job openings, investment opportunities, or even potential business partners.

My good money habits are:
Diversify income sources and prioritise savings and investments.
Financial literacy is the cornerstone of wealth creation, so educate yourself but surround yourself with a trusted professional. I help my clients navigate complex financial situations, provide valuable advice and ensure that their assets are protected. Staying informed allows you to adapt to changing economic conditions. Think long-term, stay motivated and align your decisions with your long-term vision. Manage and mitigate risk, diversify investment portfolios and review and adjust financial strategies to adapt to changing market movements.

A millionaire mindset is about making the money not spending it!

As the author of Routine Machine, a bestselling book demonstrating how successful people use routines and habits to guarantee themselves success, I'm happy to discuss the key routines anyone can use to "get rich slowly" - as well as those I have followed to build my own wealth.

While ordinary investors focus mainly on a classic asset allocation with stocks and bonds, wealthy families invest a lot in so-called "alternatives" and private markets that are much more difficult to invest in in the first place, and which generate higher returns than public markets. Especially investing in startups has become a favorite way for successful investors to also express their opinion on which projects are worth pursuing. Since not everyone has access to such investment opportunities, it also feels much more exclusive than a normal asset allocation. And startups are one of the few assets that can generate outsized returns.

Wealthy people, in my experience, tend to value their time more than material possessions. They'll often have a clear sense of the differences between 'wealthy' and 'rich' with a result that many people enjoy a wealthy life, without necessarily having loads of financial assets. Money habits usually include living within their means and investing in themselves as an individual, continually seeking new knowledge and experiences. There's a sense of purpose to their life, recognising how best to use their knowledge, skills, experience, and sometimes money, to help others. All of this is underpinned by appreciation and gratitude for what they already have. That means taking steps to protect their assets, whilst not being drawn into a 'Keeping up with the Jones's' mentality. There are no 'secrets' to good money habits, but it's about developing the right habits for the individual or couple in question. This is what my role as a financial coach entails.
