Commercial Mortgages Chelmsford
Chelmsford is a county town with a large office market, busy retail streets and established industrial areas, so commercial mortgage needs here range from a small professional office to a multi-let investment building. BestQuote Commercial Finance arranges commercial mortgages for Chelmsford owner-occupiers and investors.
What is Commercial Mortgages?
Chelmsford was granted city status in 2012 and has a long history in engineering and technology, including the first purpose-built wireless factory set up by Marconi in the 1890s. Greater Anglia trains reach London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes and the A12 and A130 link the city to the rest of Essex. A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan secured on non-residential property such as offices, shops, warehouses or mixed-use buildings.
Property here includes city centre offices and shops, regeneration around Chelmer Waterside, and industrial and trade space in areas such as Widford and Springfield. Owner-occupiers often buy the building their business already rents, and investors buy let offices and retail units around Broomfield, Great Baddow and Writtle. Lenders value these properties on the rent, the lease length and the standing of the tenant, so the information you can supply about each tenancy will shape the terms offered.
