Commercial Mortgages explained

A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan secured against commercial property, offices, shops, warehouses, pubs, hotels, industrial units, or mixed-use buildings. Terms are typically 5-25 years with rates from 4.5% per annum.

How commercial mortgages works

You apply with details of the property, your business, and the purpose (purchase, refinance, or development). The lender values the property, assesses your business, and if approved, releases funds through your solicitor. The process typically takes 6-12 weeks from application to completion.

Commercial Mortgages for London businesses

London is the UK's largest commercial centre, home to over 1.1 million businesses and generating approximately 23% of the UK's GDP. The city's economy spans financial services in the City and Canary Wharf, technology in Shoreditch and King's Cross, and world-leading creative and media industries across Soho and Southbank. London attracts more foreign direct investment than any other European city, making it a critical hub for businesses seeking access to global capital and talent. With 1.1M registered businesses across Greater London, London has strong demand for competitive commercial mortgages.

Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the Greater London area. Whether your London business needs offices and serviced offices or retail shops and high street premises, lenders assess each application individually.

Commercial Mortgages in London: frequently asked questions

Can I get a commercial mortgage in London?
Yes. London commercial properties are well-served by our lender panel. Urban commercial property in Greater London typically qualifies for competitive rates due to strong demand and comparable evidence.
What are commercial mortgage rates in London?
Commercial mortgage rates start from around 4.5% per annum for owner-occupied properties. Investment rates typically start from 5.0%. Your rate depends on the LTV, property type, and business strength, not your London location specifically.
How much deposit do I need?
Most commercial mortgage lenders require a deposit of 20-40% of the property value. Owner-occupied properties may qualify for up to 80% LTV, while investment properties typically max at 70-75% LTV.
Can I get a commercial mortgage for a London pub?
Yes, though specialist lenders are needed for licensed premises. You will need trading accounts, a premises licence, and potentially a business plan. Pubs in London with strong trading history typically qualify for 60-65% LTV.
How long does a commercial mortgage take?
A straightforward commercial mortgage typically takes 6-12 weeks from application to completion. Complex cases involving specialist properties or large portfolios may take 3-6 months. Having your documents ready speeds up the process significantly.
Can I get a commercial mortgage with bad credit?
Some specialist lenders consider applicants with imperfect credit, though you will likely face higher rates and lower LTV ratios. A strong property and business case can offset credit concerns. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
Should I buy or lease commercial property in London?
Buying gives you an appreciating asset and fixed costs. Leasing gives you flexibility and lower upfront costs. In London, where average commercial rents are competitive, the decision often comes down to your long-term plans and available deposit.
What types of London property can I get a commercial mortgage on?
Most commercial property types, offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, pubs, restaurants, hotels, mixed-use, and development land. Some specialist properties (care homes, petrol stations) need specialist lenders, which our panel includes.
