Great, so you know the numbers but, how long does it take to get a commercial mortgage?
The time it takes to get a commercial mortgage in the UK can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the loan, the lender's processes, and the documentation required. Generally, the commercial mortgage process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
Typically, it takes longer to obtain a commercial mortgage than a residential mortgage because the loans are larger and more complex. The process of obtaining a commercial mortgage usually involves several stages and working with an experienced commercial mortgage broker can streamline the application process.
How long can you take a commercial mortgage out for?
The length of a commercial mortgage in the UK can vary depending on the lender, the type of property being financed, and the borrower's financial situation. Typically, commercial mortgages have a term of 5 to 25 years, although some lenders may offer longer terms of up to 30 years or more.
