What kind of property are you financing?

The use of the property shapes the assessment. These examples help you start in the right place.

01

Your business premises

For example
An office, workshop or trading unit.
The assessment
Trading history, business finances, cash flow and available contribution.
Plan for
Mortgage payments alongside working capital and ownership costs.
02

Commercial investment

Buy or refinance a property let to a business tenant.

For example
A tenanted warehouse, shop or office.
The assessment
Lease terms, tenant profile, rental income and existing borrowing.
Plan for
Rent-free periods, voids, lease breaks and maintenance costs.
03

Mixed-use property

Consider a building with both commercial and residential elements.

For example
A shop with a flat above it.
The assessment
The use, tenancy and value of each part of the property.
Plan for
A finance structure that reflects the whole building.

Your service from MOVA

From your plans to a clear next step.

Start with how the property will be used, its price or value, the supporting income and your contribution. You do not need a finished application to get in touch.

01

Review your project

Steven works through the purpose, figures and practical constraints, including anything that needs attention before an application.

02

Explore the finance route

We help you understand the relevant funding options, costs and conditions, and identify the lender or specialist route to explore.

03

Prepare to move forward

We set out the information needed, the proposed next steps, who will handle them and any fees before you choose to proceed.

Before you commit

Compare the whole borrowing structure.

A headline rate is only one part of the decision.

Payments & term

Check fixed or variable pricing, repayment or interest-only borrowing, and whether a balance remains due at the end of the facility.

Fees & flexibility

Review arrangement, valuation, legal and adviser costs, early repayment charges and any review conditions.

Security & commitments

Understand the property security and any personal guarantees, alongside your other borrowing and cash commitments.

Prepare for our conversation

Bring the outline. We will help with the detail.

A useful starting point is the property address and use, purchase price or current value, contribution, existing debt and timetable.

Depending on the project, we may discuss:

  • Business accounts and current trading information for your own premises.
  • Tenancy, rent and lease details for an investment property.
  • The residential and commercial split for a mixed-use building.

You can enquire before every document is ready. Please do not upload financial documents through the initial website enquiry.

Your questions, answered

Commercial mortgage questions.

Can I refinance premises I already own?

Yes, you can discuss replacing existing borrowing or raising funds against a property you own. The purpose, outstanding debt, property value and affordability all need assessment.

How much deposit will I need?

It depends on the lender, property, business or rental income and the proposal. A home mortgage deposit assumption is not a reliable guide to a commercial mortgage.

Can a limited company apply?

Company borrowing can be considered, alongside other ownership structures. Tell us who will own the property and who operates the business. Take tax and legal advice on the structure before committing.

Is commercial mortgage advice FCA-regulated?

Some forms of commercial mortgage are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The position depends on the arrangement and property use; it should not be assumed from the product name alone.

What happens after I send an enquiry?

Steven will review the outline and discuss your objectives, figures and timing with you. You will then understand the information needed, the proposed route, who will handle each stage and any fees. Sending an enquiry is not a loan application or a lending decision.
