Mortgage Planning for Commercial Property Loans
Much like a home mortgage, a commercial property loan uses the property being purchased as collateral against the loan, and commercial mortgage lenders use guidelines very similar to those for residential mortgage loans. The key difference is in the fact that the company’s financial status is considered more heavily than the individual directors’/ borrowers’ financial health in whether the loan will be approved or not. Also, commercial property loans typically require a longer processing time than residential loans.
Key factors that require careful attention include:
-
determining loan tenure dependent on lease of property
-
determining the company’s credit worthiness
-
compiling complete documentation detailing the company’s audited accounts
-
finding the most competitive interest rate package
-
determining the Loan to Value (LTV) – the margin at which lenders determine whether the loan amount falls within an acceptable range based on the valuation of the property that the loan will be used to secure.
These considerations are essential to successfully securing a fiscally responsible and suitable commercial property loan. However, many companies are in danger of falling into a dangerous debt trap by failing to properly plan for their commercial property purchases and investments. To help you understand these pitfalls, we have compiled a list of the typical mistakes committed by even very experienced and savvy business owners – and how you can avoid them.
Common Commercial Property Loan Mistakes (and how to avoid them)
1. Documentation is not fully prepared and furnished
A commercial loan application is necessarily more complex than a residential loan. Lenders are more stringent with commercial loans, requiring a complete set documentation including a comprehensive business profile, financial statements, audited accounts, proper identification of all owners and directors, and more. If your documentation is lacking the required detail, costly delays in processing your loan may occur, causing you to miss out on the property you need – or worst case, your loan application can be denied.
SMP Mortgage Brokers are specially trained in identifying and compiling the documentation needed for various commercial loan applications in the Singapore area and internationally. We’ll help you navigate intricate requirements and put together a loan application package that enables loan officers to answer your application as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
2. Working directly with a lender
Businesses should be sure to conduct a diligent review of all available loan deals in order to widen the scope of options. After all, having choices is always good. It doesn’t hurt to do business with a favourite lender; however, without researching all of your options, you could miss out on a much more lucrative deal by not fully checking out the competition.
Because our SMP Mortgage Brokers work exclusively with choice banks and financial institutions throughout the Singapore and international markets, they are up to date on current lowest interest rates, loan packages, and regulations involved. Their targeted expertise is further supplemented by our exclusive SMP Mortgage Planning Software, which receives live updates in changes to the market – enabling them to zero in on current loan packages that suit your unique needs. Bottom line: working with a SMP Mortgage Broker saves you a substantial amount of time in fully researching your options.
3. Failing to recognize and secure the best deal
Though many commercial property loan packages exist in Singapore market, sourcing out the best one with the most favourable terms for your particular situation is usually very troublesome. Simply making a list of those deals is just the first step. The task of thoroughly scrutinising the offerings in light of your financial situation always pays off in identifying the loan that works best for you. This requires time as well as deep industry experience – which most business owners don’t have in this area.
