Commercial Mortgage Advice

Commercial mortgages are designed for purchasing or refinancing business premises, investment properties, and mixed-use buildings. They work differently from residential mortgages, with different deposit requirements, interest rates, and assessment criteria that focus on the business or rental income the property will generate.

Whether you are buying a shop, office, warehouse, pub, or mixed-use property with a flat above, commercial lenders assess the viability of the business or the rental yield alongside your personal financial position. Terms, rates, and structures vary widely between lenders. Try our borrowing calculator for an initial estimate of what you could raise.

At Clearview Mortgage Solutions, we work with a wide panel of commercial lenders, from high-street banks to specialist providers. Our advisers understand the commercial property market and can structure finance packages that fit your business plan and investment goals.

Most commercial lenders require a deposit of 25–40% of the property value, giving a loan-to-value ratio of 60–75%. The exact amount depends on the property type, the income it generates, and your business track record. Specialist sectors such as pubs and hotels may require higher deposits.
