What Are Commercial Mortgages and How Do They Work?

A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan secured against a non-residential property used for business purposes, such as an office, shop, restaurant, factory, or warehouse. The property acts as collateral if you fail to make repayments.

Repayments are made monthly over a set term, typically between 10 and 30 years. Interest rates can be either fixed or variable, and the loan amount is based on the property's value and your overall financial situation.

While commercial mortgages are similar to residential mortgages, there are key differences:

  • Higher minimum deposits: usually 25-30%
  • Shorter maximum terms: typically up to 30 years
  • Stricter eligibility criteria: based on your business’s creditworthiness
