How we work with commercial clients

In the commercial space, Mortgage Light understands that with the partnership of HCF, a commercial mortgage can be for an occupier, i.e. your business is looking to trade from the premises. Or, you may require the commercial space to let out as an investment to other companies.


When it's owner-occupier, the underwriting is looked at based on the business operation. Lenders will assess the trading business itself and apply different risk bands depending on your sector. Terms vary depending on the product, the repayment structure, and the nature of the business.

Case study: A smarter way to secure the right finance

One of our clients wished to purchase a commercial unit, but the numbers didn’t stack up on paper. The client was insistent on making the acquisition, so instead of a straightforward purchase, we structured the deal differently.


We helped business A buy business B and inherit all of the assets, including the building, as part of a share purchase. This reduced the stamp duty liability significantly and meant the vendor was able to benefit from entrepreneurs’ relief. Because the purchase was structured as shares rather than assets, the result was a win-win for both buyer and seller.


This is the kind of strategic thinking that comes from understanding not just mortgages, but businesses too.

Frequently asked questions

Got a question? It might be answered here. You can also head over to our FAQ page to read more of our frequently asked questions.

  • What is a commercial mortgage and how does it work?

    A commercial mortgage is a loan used to buy or refinance commercial property, such as offices, shops, warehouses, or mixed-use buildings. It works like a residential mortgage but typically involves larger amounts, different lending criteria, and usually shorter terms. Commercial property can also be an investment where the lenders will want to see that the rental you’ll receive covers the mortgage + stress tests.

  • How are commercial mortgage interest rates set?

    Rates are influenced by the lender’s base rates, your creditworthiness, property type, loan size, and market conditions. Commercial mortgage rates are usually higher than residential ones.

  • Who is the best lender for commercial mortgages?

    The best lender depends on your specific needs, property type, and financial situation. We work with a wide range of specialist lenders, including high-street banks and commercial finance providers, to find the best fit for you.

  • What’s the difference between a commercial mortgage and bridging finance?

    Commercial mortgages are long-term loans used for purchasing or refinancing commercial properties. Bridging finance is short-term funding designed to ‘bridge’ gaps, often used for quick purchases or renovations before refinancing.
