We will provide you with ready access to over 50 major commercial mortgage lenders very active in the market who will look to provide a commercial mortgage at competitive rates up to 30-year terms. We can provide both capital and interest repayment schemes or ‘easy start’ interest-only options.


If you are looking to purchase a commercial property for your own occupation, via a SIPP as a longer-term investment or perhaps you wish to purchase a trading business or re-mortgage an existing property then speak to the experts within our team.


To assess your best commercial mortgage option, we will need to understand more about your business and confirm the ability to repay the mortgage from business profits or other sources of income. In general terms, we can offer mortgages up to 75% of the freehold / long leasehold value of the property or business being purchased.

Buy-to-Let

Let-to-Buy

If you want to move house but you’re struggling to sell your home or maybe your property has dropped in value, let-to-buy is something you may want to consider. Letting out your property could allow you to move into a new home without feeling pressure to sell in a rush and potentially at a loss. Although some lenders will allow you to let out your home on a residential mortgage, it will only be on a temporary basis. So unless you are only going to be letting it out for a short time, it is likely you will need a BTL mortgage. This is where we come in, we will guide you through all the details and work out what is best for you and your home.

House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)

House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented out by several people who are not from 1 “household” but share facilities such as the bathroom and kitchen. These are often on individual ASTs (assured shorthold tenancy). Dependant on whether the property is licenced or not will determine the lenders that can be approached to help fund your requirements.

Portfolio

We provide expert advice for the acquisition, re-structure and re-finance of complex property portfolio structures with many of our clients owning properties running into the hundreds of units. Whatever the size and make-up of your property portfolio we’ll provide unbiased, whole-of-market advice offered freely and without obligation. 

Buy-to-Let Mortgage

We provide expert advice whether you are an experienced investor adding to your portfolio or starting out with your first BTL. Identifying the best BTL mortgage is often not as straightforward as a normal mortgage, key issues arise such as the borrower’s experience, rental income, lenders’ stress tests etc…

Arrangement costs and conveyancing fees can also be higher with BTL, our experienced team will steer you through the process to ensure you get the best possible deal, that’s what we are here for!

Commercial Property

Bridging Loans

If you require a short-term loan and need the funds quickly, we can provide funding for any legitimate purpose over loan terms ranging from 1 day to 24 months. Obtaining bridging finance is, in essence, a simple process and loans can be secured on both residential and commercial property assets and land/development sites.


Some potential uses:

  • Buying a bargain property at ‘below market value’
  • Buying a property which is deemed ‘un-mortgageable’ and requires significant refurbishment.
  • Buying a property at auction and needing funds quickly to complete on the purchase
  • Raising cash to buy a business, purchase stock or perhaps buy out a business partner
  • Raising cash to pay a personal or business tax bill
  • Raising cash to stave off a repossession order


Commercial Property

Development Finance

Under normal circumstances, we provide loans equivalent to 70% of the estimated GDV of the project however, for experienced developers and if additional security is made available we can often provide funding up to 100% of all site purchase, development and finance costs. We can also introduce mezzanine loans secured on a 2nd charge to provide any additional ’top up’ funding.

If you are involved in the building industry or make a living from property development and refurbishment, then the good news is that funds are available for profitable projects which fit criteria. Property Development and Refurbishment loans are provided from £50K upwards.
