What are Commercial Mortgages?

A commercial mortgage is a type of secured loan used to purchase or refinance property that is not intended for residential living. It can apply to everything from offices, shops and industrial units, to warehouses, restaurants, or land for development.

Key features of a commercial mortgage:

  • Typically used by businesses or investors.
  • Higher deposit requirements (often 25%–40%).
  • Longer terms (up to 25 years).
  • Rates may be fixed or variable and usually higher than residential mortgages.
  • Each application is assessed on its own merits, including business performance, credit history, and property type.

Commercial mortgages are often more flexible than people realise and that’s where our expert advice can make a real difference.

Who Can Apply for Commercial Mortgages?

Commercial mortgages aren’t just for large corporations. At Rosa Mortgages, we assist:

Established businesses looking to purchase their premises instead of renting.
Start-ups with a strong business plan and growth potential.
Buy-to-let investors expanding into commercial or mixed-use property.
Sole traders, LLPs, limited companies, and professional landlords.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, we can assess your situation and advise you honestly. Even if your circumstances are complex or non-standard, we’ll work to find the right lender for you.

Owner-Occupied Commercial Mortgages

Semi-Commercial Mortgages

For properties with both residential and commercial elements, such as shops with flats above. These require specialist lenders and tailored advice.

Commercial Remortgages

Free up equity, secure better interest rates, or consolidate debt. We’ll evaluate the most efficient options to reduce costs and improve cash flow.
