There are a wide range of financial advisers, banks and other financial institutions that offer commercial mortgages to homeowners in the UK.
In what is a highly competitive market, commercial mortgage lenders generally come in the form of a bank, building society or specialist company.
There are also hundreds of online lenders who offer instant quotes and advice, so take time to shop around and ensure you choose the most suitable commercial mortgage.
There are several types of commercial mortgage lender.
Major banks such as Lloyds TSB, Barclays and HSBC are the most common type of lenders in the UK and provide a wide range of mortgage services and products. If you have a good relationship with your bank (i.e. find them easy to do business with) it is worth checking to see if they can help you.
These financial institutions, owned by members instead of shareholders, pay interest on deposits and lend money on the security of property to enable customers to purchase their own homes. Building societies may be worth considering as their commercial mortgage rates can be competitive.
Finding a specialist lender to arrange a commercial mortgage may be a more suitable option than banks and building societies, as they may have greater knowledge of particular types of mortgage products available on the market.
