Securing Commercial Mortgage Finance

Securing a commercial mortgage
It is often easier than you would imagine, assuming that you meet the criteria of specific lenders, which is something that we can help you with. It is still worth talking to us, even if your business did not make a substantial profit in the previous year, or if it is a new business with no evidence of actual profit, because we can match you to lenders who may be able to help you.
Lenders often consider your business plan, or profit, before offering you an interest rate. This could actually work to your advantage because if your numbers are good you may pay a lower rate of interest. The mortgage is usually based on the ability of your business to meet the repayments. Sometimes lenders will want to see a professional valuation of your business. Commercial mortgages are available for limited companies, sole traders and individuals.
Considering buying the commercial premises you currently have on lease
Like with domestic properties there are multiple benefits to buying, rather than renting, business premises. The money that you pay each month is an investment, it goes toward building up equity which can be re-mortgaged if needed. If you continue to rent then you have no way of re-using the money that you pay to your landlord each month.
Deposits required for commercial mortgages
There is a relatively low deposit (usually around 25 per cent of the property value), you also get the benefit of flexible repayment terms, depending on status, but these can extend to up to 25 years. This means that your commercial mortgage can reflect your long-term business needs and means that the monthly repayments are likely to be affordable.
Commercial mortgage finance for multiple properties
In addition some commercial mortgages are suitable for securing multiple properties, under one mortgage agreement. This means that if you are expanding your business portfolio, or are looking to add additional properties if you have different businesses, then you only need to arrange one mortgage. This can be a huge saving, both in time and money.
Moreover the ability to have multiple mortgages arranged under one mortgage agreement can be especially suitable for ‘portfolio’ landlords. It can often be difficult to arrange multiple mortgages and, once arranged, mortgages with multiple lenders can be difficult to manage.
