Yes — both 20- and 25-year amortising terms are common. Some lenders go to 30 years on residential-investment commercial.
How long does it take?+

Can charities or trusts borrow?+

Do you handle semi-commercial?+
Yes — semi-commercial is one of our most common transaction types in Colchester and across a university city.
Owner-occupied vs investment — does it matter?+
