Common Commercial Mortgage Questions

What is a Commercial Mortgage?

A Commercial Mortgage is a long-term loan (typically up to 25 years) that is used to purchase (or refinance) any land or property used for business purposes. Just like a traditional residential mortgage, money is borrowed and secured against a property. While there are less Commercial Mortgage products available on the market, their overall value is disproportionately higher than residential mortgages.

What can a Commercial Mortgage be used for?

There are many benefits of using a Commercial Mortgage, such as:

  • To buy business premises (and save on monthly rent)
  • To secure land for development
  • To expand an owner-occupied business
  • To add to a buy-to-let portfolio
  • To release capital for investment or growth
  • To consolidate business debts
  • To buy new equipment
  • To sub-let or lease part of the building for additional income
    What are the benefits of using a Commercial Mortgage?

    Using a commercial mortgage to purchase a business premises can lead to long-term capital gains. If the property goes up in value, the business capital does too. As the equity rises, this can then be used to re-invest into the business to fund expansion or purchase additional investments. 

    What type of business can use a Commercial Mortgage?

    Most legal businesses can use a Commercial Mortgage, including:

    • Shops
    • Offices
    • Factories
    • Warehouses
    • Restaurants
    • Pubs
    • Hotels and B&Bs
    • Working farms
    • Mixed-use properties 
    What deposit do I need for a Commercial Mortgage?

    Given that most lenders will provide up to 70% LTV, this means you will be required to provide a deposit of 30%. 

    Most lenders will understand that many companies are asset rich but cash poor and therefore will accept security from an existing property.

    What interest rates are available with commercial mortgages?

    Due to being higher-risk than a residential mortgage, interest rates on a commercial mortgage are higher, too. Commercial Mortgage rates usually start from 2.95% , and will differ from lender to lender based on the amount borrowed and the loan term.

    With a variable commercial mortgage, the rates are set against the Bank of England so will change based on the set rate at the time. Conversely, with a fixed rate mortgage, the rates are locked in for a specific period of time. 

    Who can apply for a Commercial Mortgage?

    Given that commercial mortgages are used for business purposes, limited companies, SPVs, LLPs, partnerships and sole traders can typically apply for a commercial mortgage. Additionally, some lenders will even consider clients with poor credit, low income and start-ups.

    What is the eligibility criteria for a Commercial Mortgage?

    Although the criteria varies from lender to lender, most lenders will take the following into consideration:

    • Cash flow
    • Level of debt
    • Property usage
    • Current and projected business income
    • Ability to repay the loan
    • 3 year’s trading accounts
    • Asset and liability statements
    • Last 3 months’ business bank statements
    • Certified proof of ID
    • Proof of residency (utility bill or bank statement)
    • Details and profiles of all directors and partners of the business
    What fees do I need to pay with a Commercial Mortgage?

    The exact amounts will vary across the market, however you can typically expect to pay: 

    • Broker fee
    • Application fee
    • Valuation fee 
    • Arrangement fee 
    • Legal fee
    • Exit fee 
    • Administration fee
