Commercial property finance

What is it

Commercial property finance is used to purchase, refinance, or release equity from properties that are used for business purposes rather than as standard residential homes.

Who uses it?

It is commonly used by business owners, commercial landlords, property investors, pension structures, and developers.

What it is used for?

Commercial property finance is often arranged for:

  • offices
  • retail units
  • industrial sites and warehouses
  • hotels and guest houses
  • care homes and specialist trading businesses
  • mixed-use properties
  • semi-commercial investments

It can be used either by businesses buying premises to trade from, or by investors purchasing commercial assets to generate rental income. Terms are usually structured around the property’s income, the borrower’s profile, and the strength of the asset.
