Semi-commercial property

Mixed-use property loans and semi-commercial mortgages

When it comes to mixed-use property finance, whether for purchase or development, you need to ensure you’re getting the right type of mortgage or loan.

There are several factors that lenders will consider, starting with the type of property and potential yields. Are the residential and commercial elements separate units, such as a flat above a shop? Or are they combined, for example, a bed and breakfast where the owners live in?

What is the ratio split between residential and commercial? What are the potential yields from both the commercial and residential aspects? Could tenants be put off by the commercial aspect (living above a nightclub isn’t for everyone)? Can the units be split into separate titles and valued separately rather than combined?

There are some excellent options for semi-commercial property finance if you know the market. And luckily, the Commercial Expert team know where to find bespoke financing options and lenders who specialise in mixed-use mortgages.
