Secure the Perfect Commercial Mortgage for Your Business Goals

Struggling to secure the right funding to grow your business? At Auction Finance, we offer tailored commercial mortgages starting from £25,000, backed by your business premises. Whether you're buying property, investing in development, or upgrading your facilities, our flexible mortgage solutions are designed to help you achieve your business goals.

What Is a Commercial Mortgage and How Does It Work?

A commercial mortgage is a loan secured against a business property, giving business owners the financial leverage to purchase land or premises for commercial use. Unlike a residential mortgage, this type of loan is designed specifically for those looking to invest in or expand their business.

Whether you're buying office space, a warehouse, or retail premises, the structure of a commercial mortgage is similar to that of a residential one – you'll receive the funds upfront and make repayments over time. However, this loan helps you grow your business, not your property portfolio.

With the right mortgage, you can secure the perfect space for your business to thrive, all while managing repayments that suit your financial plan.

Understanding the Fees Associated with a Business Property Mortgage

When securing a business property mortgage, it's essential to be aware of the various fees that may apply. These fees can add to the overall cost of your mortgage and vary depending on the lender and your specific situation. Common fees include arrangement fees, which typically range from 1% to 2% of the loan amount for loans up to £1 million and may be added to your loan after approval.

Additionally, valuation fees start around £500 and cover the cost of a professional valuation report required by the lender. Legal fees are another consideration, as you'll need to pay both your legal costs and those of the lender, typically starting at around £500 each. Finally, if you work with a broker to help navigate the process, expect to pay broker fees of up to 1% of the loan value for their tailored advice and service.
