Commercial Mortgages Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea has a busy seafront, a large town centre and an airport business park, so commercial mortgages here cover trading premises such as hotels and restaurants as well as ordinary shops, offices and industrial units. BestQuote Commercial Finance arranges commercial mortgages for Southend owner-occupiers and investors.
What is Commercial Mortgages?
Southend-on-Sea was granted city status in 2022 and is home to the longest pleasure pier in the world. Two rail lines serve the city, c2c to London Fenchurch Street and Greater Anglia to London Liverpool Street, and London Southend Airport has its own business park. A commercial mortgage is a long-term loan secured on non-residential property such as shops, offices, hotels or mixed-use buildings.
Seafront and town centre property includes hotels, guest houses, pubs, restaurants, amusements and care homes, which are often valued on their trading performance as well as the building, so lenders will ask for several years of accounts. Away from the seafront, typical cases include parades in Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff-on-Sea and Rayleigh, offices and industrial units around the airport, and freehold shops with flats above. Seasonal trade is something lenders will want to see explained in the figures.
