This will give brokers and clients “greater flexibility” and allow clients to tailor their funding solutions to “individual investment strategies and cash flow principles”.
Shawbrook added that the changes align it with the structure introduced in its buy-to-let (BTL) proposition last year.
In its commercial investment range, brokers can access 1%, 3% and 5% arrangement fee options, while in its semi-commercial range, 2%, 3% and 5% fee options are available.
These fee options are available on two-, three-, five- and 10-year fixed rates, with pricing structured “to remain aligned” with the lender’s “existing front book positioning”.
Daryl Norkett, director of real estate proposition at Shawbrook, said: “We know from working closely with brokers and professional investors that structuring a deal is rarely straightforward. Every client’s portfolio, cash flow position and long-term strategy is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach does not reflect how this market operates.

“By expanding our arrangement fee options across commercial and semi-commercial, we are giving brokers more practical tools to shape funding around the realities of each transaction. For some, that may mean keeping upfront costs lower. For others, it is about managing monthly payments or supporting a wider investment strategy.
“This is a natural progression for us. As a specialist lender, our role is to understand the nuances of complex real estate transactions and respond with flexible solutions that genuinely work for experienced investors in today’s market.”
