Commercial Mortgages Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire has several different commercial property markets within one county, from life sciences in Stevenage to offices in Watford and retail in St Albans. BestQuote Commercial Finance arranges commercial mortgages for Hertfordshire owner-occupiers and investors and matches each property to the lenders that suit its location and type.
What is Commercial Mortgages?
Hertfordshire sits north of London with the M25, M1 and A1(M) running through it, and Thameslink and the East Coast Main Line connecting its towns to the capital. A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan secured on non-residential property such as offices, shops, warehouses or mixed-use buildings, and it can be used to buy premises or to refinance them.
Local markets differ a lot. Stevenage has laboratory and office space linked to its life sciences cluster, Hatfield has a business park and the University of Hertfordshire, Hemel Hempstead has the large Maylands business area, Watford has offices and the studio industry around Leavesden, and St Albans and Welwyn Garden City have strong town centre retail and professional offices. Lenders may value the same type of building very differently between these towns, so local comparable evidence and a lender with an appetite for the location can make a real difference to the loan terms.
