Commercial Property Remortgage
Our commercial property solicitors can help business property owners with commercial remortgages to acquire or refinance a commercial property with a view to renting it out to commercial tenants.
For many property investors, having a healthy proportion of commercial properties is an essential part of a balanced portfolio. For others, perhaps those with a residential portfolio, the prospect of branching out into a commercial portfolio is daunting.
However, with recent changes to the residential buy-to-let market and a greater focus on yield-based (as opposed to capital-based) investments, we are seeing an increase in clients taking the leap into acquiring commercial premises. Our commercial property lawyers can help you navigate the complex world of expanding into commercial buy-to-let properties.
Some potential benefits of commercial Buy-to-Lets:
- Potentially higher yields.
- A “clear” rental stream, meaning that tenants are required to undertake maintenance or fully reimburse the landlord for the cost of maintenance.
- Potentially less initial capital expenditure to acquire the site.
If you are looking to acquire commercial premises through finance or refinance your existing properties, it is essential that you consult a commercial property solicitor.
