Benefits to Owner Occupier Mortgages
- Many business owners find that the long-term advantages of owning their own commercial property outweigh the flexibility of a rental agreement, while saving costs in the long run
- Equity held in commercial properties can be released for other purposes at a later date through a commercial remortgage
- If the entire commercial space isn’t used by the owner, it can create an additional revenue stream through the subletting of unused commercial space
