Commercial Investment Finance is used to purchase or refinance individual Commercial properties through to large portfolios. Funds can be used to assist with purchase, refinance or cash release for other projects.
Lenders generally focus on the quality of the asset(s), security of income and the location.
Some of the main factors that can influence what a lender will provide are:
- the type of commercial property, whether single-let or multi-let
- the credit quality of the tenants (tenant covenant)
- length of the lease(s)
- lease terms
- break clauses
- the level of rental income
- the location
Lenders will also be interested in the annual letting costs which include:
- ground rents
- letting fees
- insurance
- utilities
- maintenance costs
- contribution to sinking fund
- management overheads
Standard Commercial Investment Finance loans can be obtained for a term of up to 10 years at up 65% LTV (Loan To Value), sometime higher. Many lenders offer interest only but some will require amortisation as well. Some providers can lend up to 75% LTV, provided the investment yield is high enough to provide the required interest cover.
We can work with both onshore and offshore structures, as well as Expats, non-domicile investors, Trusts and Charities. We only effect introductions of customers who are limited companies, limited liability partnerships and other bodies corporate, and other partnerships with 4 or more partners.
