What is Semi Commercial finance?
Semi-commercial finance is a type of mortgage designed for properties that have both residential and commercial elements. This type of loan is ideal for property owners, investors, and developers who have mixed-use properties, such as a building with a shop on the ground floor and flats above.
At Signature Specialist Finance, we specialise in arranging competitive semi-commercial finance solutions that are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you’re purchasing a new property, refinancing, or seeking development finance.
