Our charges

Early repayment charges

You can pay off your mortgage early whenever you want, but you will have to pay an early repayment charge if you repay all or part of your mortgage within a specified period. Additional interest will be payable in the event of early redemption of the mortgage. Please contact Commercial Lending on 01733 372 425 to discuss what Early Repayment Charges are applicable to our products.

FAQ's

It all depends on what your plans are for the flat.

If the residential part is less than 40% of the whole property, then you can take out a commercial mortgage, regardless of what you intend to do with the flat.

If the flat is more than 40% of the total area and you are intending to let the flat out on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, you can still have a commercial mortgage.

On the other hand, if the flat is more than 40% of the total area and you or your immediate family plan to live in the flat, you may need to consider a residential mortgage which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In which case, unfortunately, we would be unable to help you.

Yes. We’ll take a rounded view of the income streams from the property that will be in place to support affordability of your desired mortgage.

Assessing this way, it may be possible that we can achieve a higher Loan to Value lend than if we focused purely on your own business’ performance.
