A commercial mortgage is a loan given to a business to buy a commercial property.

​

Commercial mortgages are different from residential mortgages in a number of ways, including the following:

​

• The loan-to-value ratio may be lower for a commercial mortgage, meaning less of the total value of the property is covered by the loan.

• The interest rate on a commercial mortgage is higher than on a residential mortgage.

 

Commercial mortgages are usually amortized over a period of 20 years or more and repaid in regular instalments.
