The enhanced proposition is available across a broad range of commercial property transactions, including acquisitions, refinancing and investment transactions, the lender said.
Marios Theophanous, credit manager at London Credit, said that there was still strong demand for commercial property.
“Commercial lending is a market where experience is so important. Every transaction is different and understanding the nuances of a property, its income profile, tenant mix and future potential is often just as important as the numbers themselves.
“We continue to see strong demand from investors looking to acquire, refinance and reposition commercial assets. Many are also looking to maximise available leverage whilst keeping funding costs competitive. By increasing our maximum LTV to 70% and reducing rates across the range, we are giving brokers greater flexibility when structuring transactions, supported by a team with a deep understanding of the commercial property sector.”
