A commercial mortgage is a flexible financial solution that can benefit many business types.

Whether you qualify for a commercial mortgage depends on your business’ circumstances. Our team can assess your case and tell you if you can take out a loan. For instance, we will consider:

  • How much the property you want to buy is worth.
  • How much you want to borrow.
  • Assessing whether your business can afford the loan repayments.
  • The type of property (retail, industrial, office).
  • How you plan to use the property based on your business plan.
  • The size of your deposit or available equity in existing premises.
  • Whether the property is freehold or long leasehold (more than 50 years at the end of the loan term)

Commercial mortgage fees may include arrangement fees, valuation fees, legal costs, broker fees or early repayment charges.

The fees we charge are determined on a case-by-case basis in accordance with our terms and conditions.

Please send us an enquiry and a member of the team will be able to discuss these with you in detail.

The loan amount we can provide will be assessed once we have received your full application. Typically, the minimum loan size is £250,000 up to a maximum of £7.5 million.

Rest assured, our dedicated relationship team will be able to discuss all of your options with you in detail.
