1 · Scope the property case

Put the key figures together

Rough planning figures are enough here. This does not value the property or assess lender eligibility.

Mortgage stress-test

2 · Property readiness

Mark what is organised. No document upload.

The checklist changes depending on whether the property is owner-occupied or an investment.

Purchase / refinance cost budget

Keep costs separate from the mortgage.

Enter known estimates rather than relying on a generic commercial-property tax assumption.

i

70.0% illustrative LTV

Commercial appetite varies by property, use, borrower and sector. Treat LTV as a planning input, not an eligibility result.

i

£150,000 entered cash requirement

This is deposit plus the transaction-cost budget you entered. Taxes and costs need case-specific confirmation before exchange/completion.

i

4.5% of average monthly turnover

Turnover is not profit or debt-service capacity, so accounts and cash flow still need proper assessment.

3–4 · Compare the lending route

The property and borrower need to be assessed together.

Property

Property type & marketability

Use, construction, location, mixed-use elements, environmental issues and alternative demand can affect valuation and lender appetite.

Business

Trading cash flow

Accounts, management figures, existing debt and business resilience support the property borrowing.

Structure

Term, repayment basis & security

Compare total cost, amortisation, interest-only implications, fees, covenants and security—not only the initial rate.

5–6 · Application tracker

Keep the live property case visible.

Record a harmless reference only. Do not store passwords, bank-login information or authentication codes.

01

Define the property and use

Property type, business occupation or tenancy and mixed-use elements can materially change the route.

02

Evidence deposit or equity

Show where purchase cash comes from, or obtain current balance and realistic value for refinance.

03

Prepare supporting cash flow

Use business financials for owner-occupied cases and lease/tenant evidence for investments.

04

Budget the whole transaction

Valuation, legal work, fees and property taxes sit outside the mortgage illustration.

Ready for a commercial-property sense-check?

Commercial lender selection is highly case-specific. A specialist can compare live routes once the property and supporting figures are organised.

General planning illustration only. Not a valuation, mortgage offer, tax calculation, rental stress test or recommendation. Commercial and semi-commercial lending can have different regulation, fees, security, valuation and underwriting.
