Commercial Commercial Mortgages If you are seeking to finance the purchase of land and/or buildings for your business, a commercial mortgage will probably provide the most flexible and affordable financing solution. A commercial mortgage is a specialised commercial loan, and as such, the lender has a legal claim over the property until the loan has been fully repaid.
Buying Commercial Premises - Advantages & Disadvantages Buying commercial premises can be a good investment but before you commit, it is important to consider carefully the pros and cons. The acquisition of a property adds stability to your business and the property itself can become a significant asset, so let's look at the upsides and the downsides to buying:
ADVANTAGES: A fixed rate mortgage means you will have predictable monthly repayments The repayments are likely to be similar to a rental payment on the same property You are protected from any sudden rent increases Interest payments on the commercial mortgage are tax-deductible Possibility to sub-let any free space, reducing your monthly repayments (lenders permission may be required) Potential gain in value of the property DISADVANTAGES: Substantial deposit will be required - would this money be better allocated to more important business purposes? Selling business premises can be difficult. What if you want to re-locate? If you have a variable rate mortgage, you are exposed to increases in interest rates. Ownership means you'll be responsible for ongoing costs such as security, maintenance, fixtures and fittings, insurance, repairs & renewals. Potential reduction in value of the property YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
For mortgage business there may be a broker fee payable. The precise amount will depend on your circumstances but typically will be up to 2% of the loan amount payable on completion. There is no initial consultation fee payable.
