Commercial Finance Types

Commercial Finance Lenders tend not to deal in all areas of the market.

Certain lenders deal solely in care homes whereas others may deal solely in pubs. Certain lenders deal solely in London and the South East whereas other lenders deal in England as a whole. Other lenders deal in England and Wales but not Scotland whereas other lenders deal within the whole of the British Isles. Certain lenders will only lend on owner occupied properties whereas others require the property to be empty.

The list goes on and the diverse nature of the situations and circumstances to which lenders will or will not lend requires an industry specialist such as UK Property Finance to navigate.
