Commercial Mortgage

A Commercial Mortgage is a loan that’s secured against a commercial property. Our Commercial Mortgage product can be used to purchase new commercial premises for businesses to trade from, or to remortgage an existing loan that’s secured against an existing property, to raise finance for your business.

A standard homebuyer’s mortgage, the loan is given for and secured against a residential property.

A Commercial Mortgage is for a commercial property and is specifically intended for businesses.

If you’re a new business looking to purchase a commercial property you’re very welcome to apply. We’ll take into account your circumstances and credit rating, in the same way we do with all applications.

This will vary depending on the amount you wish to borrow, your business circumstances and our assessment of your credit situation. As a guideline 25% of the total value of the property is typically required for a Commercial Mortgage deposit.

It’s simple and easy to enquire online and we'll be back in touch to discuss solutions tailored specifically to you. 

Buy-to-let mortgages are suitable if you have 10 or less properties which you act as a landlord for, and don’t intend to buy the property through a business entity.

• You could take a repayment holiday at the start of the loan or during a Family First event.
• You could choose to have a capital repayment holiday of up to 6 months for a Family First event, you’ll still need to pay the interest, and switch back to a full repayment after that.
• During any Capital Repayment Holiday where you take a break from paying off the principle of the loan, the interest must still be paid into a servicing account.
• Interest will accrue during any repayment holiday, so it may take longer to repay the loan and cost more in the long run.
• Capital Repayment Holidays are subject to credit approval and payments may increase afterwards.
