Will be interesting to see what happens following this bill. A few well placed MP clichés 'spades in the ground', 'grasping the nettle', but cutting through that, simple things like easier EV charging could make the bigger difference - especially for smaller business.

It doesn't have to be that way. Whilst banks work only way, there are alternatives and borrowing way above this level without

Really happy to get this deal completed for a local builder building a new resi house. This single property development was delayed due to cost overruns.
Finance was agreed and completed to release £180k to finish the build. Really great client to work with and an impressive small development.

We have definitely experienced an uplift in businesses wanting to purchase their own trading premises.
Schemes such as Growth Guarantee Scheme are still around until March 2026 (as it stands now) and offer companies support to get the commercial mortgage they need.

It doesn't have to be this way. Most small businesses don't appreciate what a bank is looking at when they assess borrowing applications.
If you don't understand the rules you are unlikely to win the game.
There are better ways of borrowing that can save you money and time.

No great shock on this one, that the costs of a commercial mortgage are generally lower than the cost of renting. Bear in mind that there is a Government scheme to support commercial mortgages for companies looking to buy their own premises and it all starts to add up.
