Expert Assistance With Your Commercial Mortgage
A commercial mortgage allows you to purchase the premises you currently lease or if you are looking to expand to a bigger location. Alternatively, it can help you refinance your business to fund growth and additional projects.
Generally, the mortgage period will be for 10 years or more and the premises will be at risk if you are unable to keep up your repayments. The majority of mainstream lenders offer commercial mortgages but it is important you can meet their criteria.
Typically, Lenders Are Looking For:
There are several factors that lenders will take into consideration when reviewing your commercial mortgage application. Typically, lenders are looking for:
- Clean credit history
- Suitable deposit
- Business accounts and/or projections
Commercial Mortgage Rates
As with residential property, rates can be fixed or variable. Fixed rates are typically between 2-5 years and provide payment stability. Variable rates allow you to take advantage of reductions in the base rate but also mean that repayments can increase if the base rate increases.
