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 in Southampton: frequently asked questions

Can I get a commercial mortgage in Southampton?
Yes. Southampton commercial properties are well-served by our lender panel. Urban commercial property in South East England typically qualifies for competitive rates due to strong demand and comparable evidence.
What are commercial mortgage rates in Southampton?
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 Southampton 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 Southampton 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 Southampton 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. Our eligibility check does not affect your credit score.
Should I buy or lease commercial property in Southampton?
Buying gives you an appreciating asset and fixed costs. Leasing gives you flexibility and lower upfront costs. In Southampton, where average commercial rents are competitive, the decision often comes down to your long-term plans and available deposit.
What types of Southampton 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.
