What is commercial property finance?

Commercial property finance is lending secured on property used for business: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, hotels and more. It covers long-term commercial mortgages, short-term bridging loans, development finance and secured loans against property you already own.

Whether you're buying your own premises, growing a property portfolio, refurbishing a building or developing from the ground up, the right structure matters as much as the rate. We'll guide you through valuations, legal work and lender criteria from start to finish.

Some products, such as secured loans and second charges, can pay out quickly, while larger mortgages and development facilities take longer because of valuations and legal due diligence.

FAQs

Property finance questions

What is commercial property finance?

Loans for UK businesses and investors to buy, refinance or develop property used for business. It includes long-term commercial mortgages, short-term bridging loans and development finance.

What types of property can be financed?

Offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, factories, pubs, hotels, care homes, and sometimes buy-to-let portfolios or mixed-use buildings.

How much can I borrow?

It depends on the property value, lender criteria and your finances. Commercial mortgages often need a 25–40% deposit (a loan-to-value of 60–75%), while bridging loans may offer higher LTVs for short periods.

What's the difference between a commercial mortgage and a bridging loan?

A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan (5–25+ years) with regular repayments. A bridging loan is short-term (months to around 2 years), pays out quickly, usually costs more, and bridges a gap until a sale or longer-term finance.

How long does commercial property finance take?

Bridging and secured loans can complete in days or a few weeks. Commercial mortgages and development finance usually take several weeks because of valuations and legal work.
