Commercial mortgages are often required when you want to purchase a property or refinance existing debt and the property is for business use, i.e. industrial unit or office space. Some high street banks and building societies do offer commercial mortgages however they can have a strict lending policy and if you have bad credit registered, such as missed payments, CCJ or had a previous business that was closed with outstanding debt, you will more than likely need a more specialist lender to provide a bad credit commercial mortgage.
What deposit will I need to put down for a bad credit Commercial Mortgage?
This depends upon may factors such as the type of asset (property), the financial position of the business who wishes to purchase the asset and overall credit profile. It is common that you would be required to put down at least a 35% deposit. It is worth discussing your enquiry with an experienced commercial broker to confirm the deposit amount required.
What interest rate will I be charged if I have bad credit?
Interest rates on commercial mortgages are usually risk related. This means that the lender will look at each commercial mortgage application and asses a number of things that include the risk factor and exposure to the lender. There is a standard risk profile used by many commercial mortgage lenders and this is used to asses each application individually.
How much can I borrow?
The amount available to borrow for a commercial mortgage varies with each application and the purpose of the loan. For example, buying an existing business with stock and goodwill elements making up part of the valuation and loan requirements will not be considered as strong and safe as an owner occupied building or commercial property with a stronger level of deposit. Minimum loan sizes start from £26,000.
What fees are payable for a Commercial Mortgage?
- Valuation Fees are an essential element to a commercial mortgage application. Commercial properties by nature are often unique and individual and require an in depth valuation report that can start £500+.
- Arrangement Fees for commercial mortgages are usually in the region of 1-2% of the loan amount and some lenders may charge what is called a commitment fee that covers all of their preparation work in the event that the loan is not accepted by the applicant for whatever reason.
- Legal Fees – You will need to source a solicitor to represent you in the transaction.
- Broker Fees – Your chosen broker may charge a fee to help arrange the mortgage. The broker should outline all their costs clearly from the start so you are fully aware.
