Commercial Property Finance

Commercial Mortgages

Structured commercial mortgage solutions for property acquisition, refinance and longer term property backed borrowing.

Whether the requirement relates to owner occupied premises, investment property, equity release or wider refinancing, the quality of the structure can materially influence lender appetite and the eventual funding outcome.

Tell us about the property, the transaction and what you need the funding to achieve. We will assess the structure before identifying an appropriate property finance route.
Typical Scenarios

Purchase, refinance, equity release and longer term property backed funding for commercial premises and investment assets, where lender fit, leverage and repayment profile all matter.

What A Commercial Mortgage Is

Longer term property finance, structured around income, leverage and purpose.

A commercial mortgage is typically used to purchase or refinance commercial property, or to release equity from an existing asset, where the borrowing can be supported by the property and the wider strength of the case.

Depending on the transaction, facilities may be structured over longer terms than short term property finance, with repayment profiles aligned to investment or owner occupier requirements.

Structure Will Depend On
Property type and intended use
Purchase, refinance or equity release
Available deposit or equity position
Rental income or business repayment capacity
Term, repayment profile and lender appetite
Borrower profile and wider security position
Property Types Commonly Considered

Commercial mortgages can apply across a wide range of property types.

Owner Occupied Premises Offices, industrial premises, surgeries, workshops and other trading locations occupied by the business.
Investment Property Commercial investments including retail, offices, industrial units, mixed use property and other income producing assets.
Specialist Assets Pubs, restaurants, agricultural property, care related assets and other transactions where specialist lender appetite may be required.
Important Distinction

A commercial mortgage is one property finance route, not automatically the right one.

A longer term mortgage can be appropriate where the property, income and repayment profile support the transaction. However, timing, condition, intended works, ownership structure or the wider commercial requirement may point towards another form of property finance.

The starting point should therefore be the transaction and the intended outcome, rather than simply the product name.

What Lenders May Assess

Asset quality, income and structure can all matter.

Property type, location and valuation
Loan to value and wider security position
Rental income or business repayment capacity
Borrower experience and financial profile
Case structure and commercial rationale
Repayment profile and intended exit where relevant
Our Role

Structure the transaction before approaching the market.

The Aftersales Network Limited is a credit broker and not a lender. We assess the transaction, property, leverage, repayment profile and likely lender appetite before identifying and positioning an appropriate route where suitable.

That means more than simply sourcing a rate. It means considering how the transaction should be structured and presented before it reaches the market.

Property Due Diligence

The property and transaction need to withstand lender scrutiny.

Valuation, title, leases, tenancy profile, planning, permitted use, ownership and marketability can all influence how a commercial property transaction is assessed.

Property Compliance

Compliance can affect value, use, timing and financeability.

EPC ratings, MEES requirements, fire safety, asbestos and other property considerations may become relevant depending on the asset, occupation and proposed transaction.
