A commercial mortgage is finance that allows you to secure a large loan on a business premise. Commercial finance mortgages allow companies to purchase property that be either used by the business themselves for their business operations or can be rented out to other businesses. These commercial properties could include retail units, office space and warehousing and more.
Corporate loans and corporate mortgages are both types of finance that is available to businesses in the UK. A commercial loan is available up to £25,000 and is not secured against any property. Corporate mortgages are a business loan over £25,001 which needs to be secured against a property because it is deemed a riskier investment due to its size, so the risk needs to be mitigated.
If you miss payments on a commercial mortgage, you risk losing your property. Therefore, it is vital that you assess your financial situation and your affordability for the monthly repayments, as well as the deposit.
Whilst there are many similarities between commercial and retail mortgages; you need to prove your affordability, prove your identity, and leave a deposit. However, there are important difference to note.
Typically, commercial mortgage lenders require a significantly higher deposit from their applicants with a lower loan-to-value (LTV) ratio – typically around 75%. This is when you will utilise the property yourself rather than rent it out to tenants. If you are letting the property, then the LTV will be lower – around 65%.
As corporate mortgages are considered higher risk, lenders will offer higher interest rates than on regular mortgages, usually only on a variable rate plan as well. If you have a bad credit history, this rate is likely to increase as well.
Whether it is your first or you tenth purchase of a commercial property, finding the right corporate mortgage is complicated and time consuming. An experienced and specialised mortgage adviser can help you find the right mortgage deal for you, finding the highest LTV possible with the best interest rate possible.

EXCELLENTBased on 100 reviewsDaniel Couchman12 January 2024This review is long overdue - Active mortgages got us our dream home! I spoke with around 7 different brokers from different companies which didn’t know what they were talking about but then I found Simon at active - he was straight to the point and got us the best deal and the highest amount possible. I got a bit impatient at one point but that was due to the banks taking ages to process everything - active were calm and reassured us. Highly recommended. Excellent from start to finish Even sent us a gift for Xmas - thank you!Meena Kanagavel2 January 2024Jamie Murray from Active Mortgages has been amazing in setting up the VAT loan, whilst we purchased our Land.
