More investors put money into commercial property in central London in the last quarter, meaning that available mortgages for such buildings may be on the increase.
Figures from a Cushman and Wakefield report recently showed that the amount of investments made into the development of business buildings saw a 110 per cent rise to £1.4 billion in the last three months.
According to Michael Aglony, marketing manager at Mortgages for Business, inquiries into taking out a loan for commercial properties at the firm have also increased, which may lead to more lending in the near future.
Looking at statistics from the company, he said: "Based on quarter-one figures versus quarter-two figures for 2009, there has been a 171 per cent increase in commercial cases, which would reflect the positive shift we have begun to see in the last few months."
Legal and General, recently announced one two-year fixed-rate and one three-year fixed-rate loan for businesses considered "almost prime".
