How do commercial property mortgages work?

  • Repayment terms from 3 to 25 years

  • Most lenders will require a 30% deposit

  • Maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is typically 80% of the value of the property you’re looking to purchase

  • There are fixed rate terms for up to 10 years, with the majority being around 5 years - your rate will depend on the size of the loan and the length of the loan term

  • Your business mortgage will be secured against the property that you require the loan for

  • If you choose an interest-only mortgage, your monthly payments will only cover the interest on the amount you borrow, not the original loan amount. Your monthly payments will be lower, but you’ll owe the full loan amount at the end of the term

Types of commercial mortgages

Owner-occupied

If you’re purchasing a property to use yourself, eg an office, shop or warehouse, you’ll want an owner-occupied mortgage.

It means your business will own its premises, rather than renting, which will build equity over time.

Commercial investment

This type of mortgage is for anyone wanting to buy commercial property to rent out for a steady rental income.

You'll need a buy-to-let mortgage for residential rentals. Semi-commercial mortgages are also available for mixed-use buildings.

Bridging loans

If you need a short-term solution to help you purchase a property quickly or during a sale, a bridging loan is a faster alternative.

They’re quick to arrange but typically come with higher interest rates - although are a great option whilst you’re waiting to secure long-term finance.

Development finance

Development finance is a short-term option used for a wide range of construction and renovation projects, from new builds to conversions.

Your money is often released in stages, which makes it easier to complete your next project without waiting for the last property to sell.

What fees are involved with a commercial mortgage?

What can you use a commercial property mortgage for?

There are multiple uses of mortgages for businesses - and the loan you need will depend on what you intend to use it for.

Expanding or relocating your business

As you begin to grow and scale your business, it’s likely you’ll need more space. With a business mortgage you can relocate or expand into more locations without paying a huge upfront cost.

Investing in property as a landlord

Commercial mortgages help you spread the cost of new properties, whilst generating ongoing rental income. This makes it easier to expand your property portfolio, without paying any large upfront costs.

Raising capital for your business

Release equity from commercial property that you already own and free up cash to provide your business with working capital. You can use this money to fund new projects, invest in new assets, or improve day-to-day cash flow.

Do you need help financing another project?

Whether you’re stacked with overdue invoices or after more flexible funding for wider projects, we have options for you.
