Semi-Commercial Mortgages Explained

Semi-commercial property usually contains both commercial and residential elements, such as a shop with flats above.

Important information.

Commercial finance is subject to status, lender criteria, affordability, valuation and underwriting. Security may be required and your property may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured against it. We conduct both regulated and unregulated business and therefore not all products provided through us are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Examples of semi-commercial property

  • Retail unit with residential flats
  • Office with residential accommodation
  • Mixed-use hospitality property
  • Commercial unit with separate residential leases
  • Other property with mixed income streams

What lenders may review

  • Commercial and residential split
  • Lease terms and rental income
  • Access arrangements and title details
  • Property valuation and condition
  • Borrower experience and repayment plan

Why structure matters

  • Regulatory status may depend on circumstances
  • Different lenders treat mixed-use property differently
  • Valuation and income evidence can affect options
  • Bridging or refurbishment finance may be needed before term finance
  • Legal and planning details can be important
