Belfast FAQs
Common questions about commercial mortgages in Belfast
Will my personal income matter?+
For investment lending, mainly only to support PGs and stress-tests. For owner-occupied, the trading business's performance dominates.
Do you arrange commercial in Lisburn?+
Yes — Lisburn (8 miles from Belfast) sits inside our normal coverage, as does the broader County Antrim market.
Will the bank value the property low?+
Downvaluations happen. We pre-screen with lenders likely to instruct local County Antrim valuers familiar with Belfast comparables to reduce that risk.
What if my deal sits below £150k?+
Some lenders go lower, but pricing is rarely attractive. We'll be honest if your deal is too small for sensible commercial lending and suggest alternatives.
How much can I borrow on a Belfast commercial mortgage?+
Typically 65–75% LTV for investment, often higher for owner-occupied. Loan size from around £150k upwards across County Antrim.
What about mixed-use property in Belfast?+
Mixed-use (shop with flats, office with residential) is regularly funded across Belfast. Some lenders treat it as semi-commercial with friendlier pricing than pure commercial.
