Start Enquiry
When it may fit
Owner-occupied commercial mortgages are usually reviewed where the business occupies the property for its own trading activity.
Lenders may consider property value, business affordability, accounts, deposit, sector, lease position, valuation and borrower profile.
Documents that help
Useful documents include property details, purchase price or refinance amount, accounts, bank statements, management figures, deposit evidence and existing mortgage details if relevant.
If funds are being raised for another business purpose, explain how the money will be used.
What to consider
The property may be at risk if repayments are not maintained, so affordability and long-term trading plans matter.
