Commercial Mortgages & Bridging Finance

A Commercial Mortgage is probably the most popular way to finance the purchase of buildings and land for business purposes. As with Residential Mortgages, a Commercial mortgage means the lender has a legal claim over the property until the loan has been fully repaid. However Commercial Mortgages are much more complex and are priced and underwritten on an individual basis, depending upon the risk

Historically business owners went to their own bank for their commercial loan needs. With recent difficulties in obtaining commercial finance, more borrowers than ever are having to look to other lenders and need advice on what is available.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate most Commercial Mortgages.

Commercial Mortgage Sectors

Bridging Loans

The main principle behind bridging finance is to provide a timely and short term method of borrowing funds. It Is often used to complete on a property purchase while waiting for a sale to complete or when in a hurry to complete on a purchase, for example when purchasing at an auction, where completion is typically required within 28 days.
