Commercial Mortgages

Semi commercial mortgages

Assetz Capital fund semi commercial mortgages to meet a wide range of business needs where the property combines both commercial and residential usage. An example of which could be a scheme where retail units occupy the ground floor while the remainder of the building is residential apartments.

You may be a property investor looking to get into the semi commercial property space. Perhaps you may rent your building and are looking to purchase it, or you may already own your building and are looking to refinance it or generate additional working capital. You may even want to convert an existing commercial building into mixed use.

Whatever your situation, we’re here to help your business grow with a tailor made solution.

If you have a deal in mind, why not call us now on 0800 470 0430 or simply click the ‘enquiry’ button below and we’ll get straight back to you.

What are the benefits of a semi commercial mortgage?

Investing in semi commercial properties through a semi commercial mortgage can offer several advantages. These include:

Portfolio diversification: Owning a property that generates both residential and commercial income provides a diversified revenue stream, potentially increasing stability and reducing risk – particularly in ‘void periods’ when one aspect of the properties use may not be tenanted.

Higher rental income potential: Commercial units generally yield higher rental returns compared to purely residential properties, enhancing the overall investment yield.

Potential capital growth: Well-located semi-commercial properties can benefit from both residential and commercial market growth, potentially leading to increased property values over time.

What types of property can be used for a semi commercial mortgage?

Basically, any property which has both a commercial element and a separate access residential element will be classed as a semi-commercial property. The titles are usually freehold and encompass both the commercial and residential elements.

So properties eligible for semi-commercial mortgages can vary greatly but often include:

  • Retail units with one or more flats above them.
    • Restaurants and pubs with self-contained residential accommodation.
    • Professional practices such as doctors and dentist practices with residential accommodation.
What is a semi commercial mortgage?

A semi-commercial mortgage, also known as a mixed-use mortgage, is a type of loan designed for properties that have both residential and commercial elements. These properties might include a shop with a flat above it, a pub with living quarters, or any other combination of residential and commercial spaces.
