    £250 on non fix £995 on fix. Both charges are ok for me but the options are both good and bad in their own way

    Are you planning on staying in this commercial property long term ?
    Does the business need/want steady outgoings ?
    Would you like to repay the mortgage asap and own the property?
    Can you put the interest part of the mortgage against your income from the buisness.
    Do you need to speak to your accountant !

    Thanx for that, the questions asked answer the hypothesis!
