Commercial Trust is a member of the Legal & General Mortgage Club.
We chose to work with Legal & General as they are the largest, longest-running club in the UK.
This gives our clients the confidence that their borrowing is with a lender selected by an established and trusted club, who are involved in nearly one in three mortgages processed by intermediaries like us.
Can you get a 100% commercial mortgage borrowing?
Yes, this may be possible. You will need to own your own home outright, or with a mortgage with plenty of available equity. If this is the case, then there are commercial mortgage options where a lender will use the equity in your home as additional security (in addition to the property you are buying), allowing you to borrow the full value.
The way to achieve 100% commercial mortgage borrowing involves taking out a premium product, and as such the mortgage interest rate is higher than other products in the marketplace. This is one of the few ways you can get a commercial mortgage with no deposit, and it is not widely available. But, if this is your only way forward it could just be the right solution, until your circumstances change.
100% loan to value (LTV) commercial mortgages
There are also 100% LTV commercial mortgage products, if the property is a medical practice. For more information, scroll down.

How does 100% commercial mortgage borrowing work?
The circumstances under which you can achieve 100% commercial mortgage borrowing is quite restricted, as it is not a common option amongst commercial lenders. However, it does exist.
Where you have no deposit, but want to get a mortgage on a business premises (whether you will let out the property to a business, or businesses; or whether you intend to run your own business from it) you can use your home or another property you own as additional security.
In this situation you can borrow up to 70% of the property value on the commercial property you are buying and then – if you have the available equity – the remaining 30% will be covered by a legal charge on the other property you are using as security.
This could be your house or another buy to let or commercial property you own.
The property the additional legal charge will be placed on can be owned with a mortgage – so long as you own enough of the property to cover the 30% you need, to achieve the 100% commercial borrowing – or the property can be unencumbered (no mortgage, you own it outright).
Of course this does mean both the property you are buying and the property you are using as additional security are placed at risk of repossession, if you don’t keep up with the mortgage payments.
The mortgage lender will undertake affordability checks based on the income the main security property will generate, but, you must also be confident this dynamic is affordable for you as you are going to know best if this is the case.
100% loan to value (LTV) commercial mortgages
100% LTV commercial mortgages are different from 100% commercial mortgage borrowing scenarios. 100% LTV commercial mortgages do not require two properties as security, just one – as with any other standard mortgage.
Medical practices are the only property type where this level of borrowing, on one mortgage, is possible.
The reason for this is the much smaller risk of a commercial mortgage on a medical practice not being paid. As such lenders have a strong reason to give full borrowing without the need for additional security.
We work with a range of over commercial mortgage lenders, including:
