They can include buy to let mortgages, which are built for a high volume market. However, different premises can significantly vary in the risk that they would pose to a lender. For this reason, each application is assessed individually and priced to take account of the specific risk.
How do Commercial Mortgages work in practice?
In general, they are similar to a typical residential mortgage agreement, in terms of taking out a loan against the value of the property. They also commonly require a deposit and usually, the only security you need to provide is the property itself. In seeking the right commercial mortgage for you, we will deal with a variety of lenders – including high street banks and secondary and third tier lenders.
