Commercial premises that are in part used for residential purposes are seen as semi commercial*.
For both commercial and semi commercial buildings the lending criteria is typically as follows:
Repayments: can be either interest only or capital + interest repayment.
Loans available: up to 75% of the property value (dentists and doctors premises up to 100% LTV).
Property type: all considered.
Credit history: some lenders will offer flexibility on historical adverse credit issues.
Landlord experience: not always essential for some lenders.
Owner-occupied lending: can be acceptable with some lenders.
Residential element: where part of the property is for residential use, the owner may occupy up to 40%.
We also offer advice on funding for plant and machinery, invoice discounting, building extensions and refurbishment.
