You'll probably need a commercial mortgage, but may also require a personal guarantee if your business doesn't have much history.
Speak to a specialist broker who covers residential and commercial mortgages / loans to see what options are available.

Yes, it will be a commercial loan with a maximum loan to value of 75%, although in this climate it could be less.
2 ways of approaching this;
1) Non status
2) Full documentation0 -
so would it be possible to put other blocks of garages I own outright down insetead of a cash deposit?
And sorry for sounding stupid but what is non status and full documentation?0 -
Yes other security in the form of debt free property could be used potentially instead of cash.
Non status is where the lender lends without too many questions, pretty much on the stregnth of the property asset rather than detailed analysis of your business accounts. Of course they will want a higher rate though, anything from about 5-12% depending on how well the deal stacks up.
If you want a rate of around 4 / 5% then you need a high street Bank, but of course they will want a detailed underwriting process carried out, 3 years accounts, a business plan etc.0
