When you are purchasing a commercial property you must be careful not to burden your business with a high monthly cost. This is where a good commercial mortgage broker comes in. The advantage with using a UK online broker is that they are likely to have knowledge of a wide range of lenders that may suit your needs much better than the bank that you currently deal with.
Some commercial property mortgage brokers charge fees, because the commissions from the lenders are not enough to pay their overheads, and there is a good case for paying their fees, but a UK online broker probably works from home and doesn’t have the overhead of a shop front and business rates and extra utility bills.
Always try to deal with a broker that answers the phone and promptly answers emails, as you don’t want your commercial property purchase or remortgage slowing or stopping.
Try and shop around a little as some no fees brokers will not give you their best deal, they will slot you into a deal where they will get the most commission. There is a lot of time that goes into a commercial mortgage deal so charging a fee in the region of 1% is quite reasonable.
