For Rupinder and Pritti's joint mortgage to be treated as a high-net-worth mortgage, what is the minimum requirement?

• A. One of them has net annual income of at least £150,000 or net assets of at least £1m.
• B. One of them has net annual income of at least £250,000 or net assets of at least £2m.
• C. One of them has net annual income of at least £350,000 or net assets of at least £4m.
• D. One of them has net annual income of at least £300,000 or net assets of at least £3m.

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how a high-net-worth (HNW) mortgage is defined for a joint application. For a loan to be treated as HNW, at least one of the borrowers must meet a very high wealth threshold, either through income or through net assets. The standard minimum used here is that one person has a net annual income of at least £300,000 or net assets of at least £3,000,000. Therefore, if either Rupinder or Pritti earns £300k a year or has £3m in net assets, the mortgage can be classified as high-net-worth. The other options propose lower thresholds, which would not meet this minimum HNW criterion.
