Rising Property Costs

Rising property prices and development costs make expansion harder. Our bespoke finance solutions help fund acquisitions, refurbishments, and developments.

Increased Lender Scrutiny & Costs

Lenders have become more cautious, tightening criteria and increasing refinancing costs. Affordability tests are stricter, with greater scrutiny on borrowers, particularly for high-leverage investments.

Commercial Sector Fluctuations

Commercial property, for example retail and office spaces are experiencing fluctuating demand as a result of hybrid working models and economic shifts.

Impacted Cash Flow

Energy, maintenance, and insurance costs have risen, especially for older, less efficient properties. Unlocking equity can boost cash flow and fund new ventures. Our refinance options help you leverage assets, freeing up capital for growth.

Navigating Economic Uncertainty

Economic fluctuations can impact rental income, property values, and financing availability. Our team of specialists works closely with you to provide finance options that work for your business meeds, even in uncertain times.

What types of commercial property finance do you offer?

At Charles & Dean, we offer a range of property finance solutions designed to meet the needs of property investors. Our products include residential buy-to-let mortgages, investment and owner-occupier commercial mortgages, first and second charge bridging loans, and refurbishment and development finance - all tailored to help you acquire, refinance, or develop real estate with flexibility and ease.

What is an investment mortgage, and how can it benefit my property investment?

An investment mortgage is a loan used to purchase or refinance property, such as office buildings, retail spaces, or industrial units. With competitive interest rates and flexible repayment terms, a commercial mortgage can help you secure valuable assets and grow your property portfolio over time.

What are bridging loans, and when should I use them?

Bridging loans are short-term loans designed to bridge the gap between buying and selling property or securing long-term finance. If you need quick access to funds for a time-sensitive property transaction, a bridging loan can provide the necessary capital until you secure permanent financing or complete the sale.

What is development finance, and how can it help fund my property projects?

Development finance is specifically designed to fund property development projects, whether residential, commercial, or mixed-use. This funding can be used for land acquisition, construction costs, or refurbishment projects. With flexible terms and tailored options, development finance helps you bring your property development projects to life.

How much can I borrow for commercial property finance?

The amount you can borrow depends on the type of property, its value, and your financial circumstances. At Charles & Dean, we work with you to assess your situation and provide a commercial property loan that meets your investment goals. We offer flexible terms and competitive rates, ensuring you get the funding you need to grow your property portfolio.

How does Loan-to-Value (LTV) affect my commercial property finance?

Loan-to-Value (LTV) determines how much you can borrow against the value of your property. Typically, commercial property LTVs range from 60% to 80%, depending on the property type and your financial profile. At Charles & Dean, we offer competitive LTV ratios tailored to your needs, ensuring you secure the best terms. As the market evolves, we help you navigate LTV options to maximise borrowing potential and improve affordability.
