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.

Seeking a Commercial Mortgage with us allows you to benefit from:

  • Fixed and variable rates linked to Base rate or Libor.
  • Amortisation periods potentially lasting up to 30 years.
  • Periods of capital and interest repayment or interest only.
  • Widely varying loan-to-value ratios. These can reach 100%, though they are typically 70%.
  • Bank arrangement fees on top of the loan.
