Trading Business Commercial Mortgages

Are you a business owner planning to increase your portfolio or review your existing borrowing facilities? Or would you like to purchase or refinance your own trading premises? Our Commercial mortgage advisers are market leaders in finding suitable lending solutions for all circumstances.

Commercial mortgages are more complex compared to arranging a residential or buy to let mortgage. The importance of dealing with the right mortgage adviser is fundamental in the success of arranging the right commercial mortgage for your business.

Competition in the commercial funding arena has increased  in recent years, with the introduction to the market of Challenger Banks and Specialist Lenders paving the way to competitive alternatives to the traditional High Street Banks. This has made owning commercial property as a landlord or business owner more achievable and attractive than ever before.

The lack of high street lending availability

Traditional high street lenders have strict credit criteria in terms of commercial lending. It often rules out a number of potential applicants who run successful and profitable businesses, but do not qualify due to the market sector they operate in, or due to the local lending appetite of their bank.

Specialist lenders have entered the mortgage market space to provide applicants with competitive, easier to access funding deals and other services.

Data received from Statista indicates that specialist mortgage lenders have made things possible for business owners in terms of commercial mortgages.

Specialist commercial mortgage providers will generally assist with first charge term lending for both purchase and re-mortgage reasons, on a vast array of properties including:

• Retail Offices
• Industrial and Warehouse Units
• Dental, GP and Veterinary Practices
• Nursing/Care Homes
• Leisure and Hospitality including Public Houses
• Restaurants, B&B, Guest Houses, Hotels
• Gyms, Fitness Centres and Golf Courses
