Answer: 
The purchase of a freehold of a property where all of the long leaseholds have been sold off is an area of finance that Aldermore is unable to assist with at this point in time.

High Street banks may able to provide finance for a transaction such as this.

If you would like to discuss this further please call the Commercial Mortgages team on 01733 404518.

Answer: 
The biggest difference with other type of mortgages such as a residential mortgage, is the type of property for which funding is required; in this case it would be an office, industrial unit or a shop for your business to use. The property might actually be an investment to you, where tenants pay rent you use, in turn, to pay the mortgage.

The standard process is that an application is submitted by the customer, the property is valued and if approved, a mortgage offer is issued by the bank and the transaction is completed.

In addition, because commercial properties can take longer to sell than houses, all lenders regard them as a bit more risky, and for this reason the customer normally pays a higher interest rate.

Answer: 
The challenge for any lender when assessing your application will be that it needs to make a decision based on what your business looks like today, for a mortgage that will run for a long period of time. This assessment is not easy, so it shouldn’t be a surprise if lenders ask for what it seems to be a vast amount of information.

Typically, you could be asked for:

- Financial accounts for three years
- Bank statements
- If you think things are on the up in your business, we may ask to see a projection
- In some cases, providing your business plan and management accounts will also help to build a full picture

In most cases, you will be asking the lender for a long time loan based on your current performance and also requesting to put more money into the transaction than you (if you wish to borrow more than 50% of the value of the property ) so bear with all the questions!

The above shouldn’t be treated as a checklist as every lender can have different policies and every case is different.

Answer: 
Unfortunately this isn’t a sector that we would be able to assist with as it falls outside of our lending policy. There are a number of lenders who are active within the care who may be better placed to assist you with this.

Answers

Answer: 
Lenders use a fairly common approach to work out whether a customer qualifies for a commercial mortgage, which as a general rule would be based on:

- Your experience and credit history
- How much you wish to borrow
- What you want the money for
- Your ability to repay the mortgage
- What security you can offer for the mortgage

Typically, your application is likely to be accepted if:

- You have a clean credit history and bring experience to the table
- The amount you wish to borrow is within the range the lender is happy with
- The reason for borrowing acceptable to the lender
- You can demonstrate an ability to repay the mortgage, even if interest rates go up in future, and;
- You can offer acceptable security

However every organisation can have different policies therefore is better to ask your lender whe its requirements are. The above information should not be used as checklists.
