Commercial Finance

Commercial mortgages

Finance to buy or refinance premises a business owns and occupies, or holds as an investment.

Who it is for

Business owners buying trading premises, and property owners refinancing a commercial building. Suited to owner-occupiers moving out of rented space, and to landlords holding shops, offices, industrial units or mixed-use property.

The problem it solves

A commercial mortgage is not a scaled-up residential one. Lenders assess the trading business behind the loan, the strength of the tenant where the property is let, and the type of premises. Terms, loan-to-value and pricing vary widely between lenders, and high-street banks see only part of the market. Applying to the wrong lender costs time and can leave a workable deal declined.

How Verion helps

We compare terms across a broad range of commercial lenders, not one bank's product.

We assess the trading accounts and the property together, so the case is presented in the way a lender expects.

We explain loan-to-value, term, repayment basis and fees plainly before you commit.

We manage the valuation, legal and lender requirements through to completion.

The process

  1. Understand the case

    We review the property, the business and what you want the finance to do.

  2. Search the market

    We identify lenders whose criteria fit the premises and the trading position.

  3. Present and agree terms

    We put the case forward and talk you through the terms offered before you proceed.

  4. Manage to completion

    We coordinate valuation, legals and lender conditions to drawdown.

Key considerations

A commercial mortgage is secured on the property. It may be at risk if repayments are not maintained.

Rates, loan-to-value and terms depend on the lender, the property type and the strength of the business.

Fees can include arrangement, valuation and legal costs. We set these out before you apply.
