A commercial mortgage is probably the best way to finance the purchase of buildings and land for business purposes, it provides the most flexible and affordable finance solution. 

Commercial mortgages are specialised due to the fact that the lender has a legal claim over the property until the loan has been repaid in full. 

Mortgage loans of this type are tailor made for purchasing any commercial property used for business purposes including shops, factories, offices and warehouses. Commercial mortgages can also be used for taking over an existing business, purchasing a brand new building or buying land. 

Although they often come with higher interest rates and more variables than residential mortgages, commercial mortgages are more flexible and can carry extra incentives for borrowers. With commercial mortgages, the lender has a legal claim over the property until the loan has been fully repaid.
