Commercial Mortgages
If you’re looking to buy property for your business, a commercial mortgage could help you finance it.
A commercial mortgage allows you to spread the cost of moving to new business premises or expanding to multiple locations. As a loan secured against company property, it could be more cost-effective than a business loan*.
You can also re-mortgage a commercial property with us to release cash for your business or save money on an existing loan.

Why choose a commercial mortgage?
Are you eligible?
- For new and existing customers.

What we’ll need to know
Keep in mind
- Your commercial mortgage will be secured against the property you are mortgaging.
- Your business will be charged an arrangement fee and may be charged security and valuation fees.
- For interest only mortgages, the actual amount borrowed doesn’t reduce during the life of the mortgage. You’ll need to repay the full capital amount at the end of the mortgage term.
- If you repay part, or all, of your fixed rate mortgage before the end of the agreed term then you may need to pay an early repayment fee. This could be substantial. This fee does not apply to bank-rate linked loans.
- We will require a first legal charge over the property being proposed as security. This means if you’re re-mortgaging an existing property, you must repay any loan secured on it at completion.
