Semi-Commercial Mortgages in Liverpool

How we structure semi-commercial finance for Liverpool property

We arrange the full range of semi-commercial and mixed-use finance for Liverpool property. A semi-commercial mortgage funds the purchase or refinance of an investment or owner-occupied mixed-use asset, typically to 70 to 75 percent of value, priced from around 6.5 to 8.5 percent a year. Where the residential element is large, a mixed-use mortgage may be sized on the blended income from both parts. Semi-commercial bridging covers a quick purchase, an auction lot or a property that needs works before it will support a term loan, usually from around 0.70 to 0.95 percent a month. For landlords holding several mixed-use or part-commercial assets, portfolio finance consolidates them under one facility. Once an asset is stabilised and let, a semi-commercial remortgage moves it onto a keener rate and releases equity for the next purchase in Merseyside.

Mixed-use assets we finance across Liverpool

Each kind of mixed-use asset is treated differently by different lenders, and we arrange finance for all of them in Liverpool and across Merseyside. That covers the classic shop with a flat above, offices with residential upper floors, pubs and guest houses with owner or letting accommodation, restaurants and takeaways with flats, retail parades with residential uppers, HMOs above commercial units, surgeries and professional premises with living space, and larger mixed-use blocks. The key question every lender asks is how much of the property, by floor area or value, is residential against commercial, because that split decides which desk will lend and on what terms.

The residential element: what local values tell a lender

The recent transaction tape underlines the low-ticket regeneration story. A terraced freehold at 90 Princes Road (L8 8AD) printed at £70,000 on 31 March 2026, sitting in the heart of the Toxteth/Princes Park rebuild belt where small-scheme refurbishment and HMO conversion economics are tightest. At the other end of the range, 22 Wellfield Road (L9 1AT) cleared at £332,000 on the same day, and 6 Cottonwood (L17 7ES) detached at £342,500 on 20 March. Central apartment stock is clearing in a narrow band: Apartment 104, The Collegiate, 20 Shaw Street (L6 1HA) at £120,000 and Apartment 303, Bastion Point, 12 Oriel Street (L3 6DY) at £130,000 are representative of the conversion-block tape. Apartment 85, Tobacco Wharf, 51 Commercial Road (L5 9XB) printed at £90,000, illustrating how older waterfront conversion stock is clearing well below the city-centre new-build comparables. Aigburth and Mossley Hill (L17, L18) remain the suburban anchors with prints from £235,000 to £367,500.

This residential evidence values the living space within a mixed-use property and gauges how readily it would let or sell. It is not a guide to the commercial unit's value, which is tenant and covenant driven.
