But what exactly are commercial property mortgages, and what are the key features you should know about this type of finance?
What is a commercial mortgage?
Businesses use commercial property mortgages to buy or improve a property (often one that they operate from), or to release equity (value) from an existing property which could then be used to invest further into the business.
There are two main types of commercial property mortgage:
- Commercial investment mortgages, which are used when the client is seeking to purchase a property in order to rent it out (in which case the lender will consider factors such as the expected rental income and tenant quality in order to make an offer.) These are mortgages designed for experienced landlords with a track record in the field due to their higher risk profile.
- Owner-occupied commercial mortgages: These are for clients that will operate their businesses in the premises against which they are securing the mortgage. These types of mortgage tend to be simpler to organise due to the lower degree of risk.

What are the fees?
There are various fees involved in commercial mortgages which reflect the complexity, size and commercial nature of these types of transaction.
Valuation Fees
This is required by the lender to ascertain the objective value of the property which is being lent against. The fee will depend on whether a basic valuation or a full structural survey is required.
Arrangement Fees
This is the fee charged for arranging the mortgage and it is likely to be 0.5% to 1.5% of the overall mortgage value. The arrangement fee can usually be added to the mortgage itself.
New Build Redemption Penalty
Most commercial mortgages have a redemption penalty that applies to the first 3-5 years of the mortgage, which means that you will pay a fee if you clear the mortgage off early. Think of it as an early repayment charge.
Legal & Professional Fees
Details of these fees will be provided by the lender/broker before the mortgage is arranged. At Hank Zarihs we provide a full schedule of fees for complete transparency.
Things to Consider
These fees are in addition to the mortgage interest rate which will vary according to the lender and other factors such as the size of your deposit or equity (LTV). The larger the loan sum and loan term, the lower the likely interest rate.

What are the benefits of a commercial mortgage?
Better interest rates
Commercial property mortgages tend to have lower interest rates when compared against other loan types. They also allow businesses to forecast cashflow more accurately due to their fixed monthly payments.
An asset on the books
Similarly, by purchasing the property in which it operates, a business gains an asset for its balance sheet. When renting property, the business merely pays off someone else’s mortgage with nothing to show for it.
Grow income
There are potential income gains too, as properties bought by the business may have surplus space or land which can be let for income.
Capital gains advantages
Property tends to rise in value over time, so by securing a commercial mortgage, the client can invest in an asset which is likely to grow – building its capital position in the process.
Control
When a business rents it property it lacks control over the way that it can use, maintain and present that building to its staff, customers and other stakeholders. But when it buys that property, it can gain that control.
