Equity Release for residential property near commercial property - which lenders are most flexible?

Options
Hi,
My ageing father would like to do equity release to purchase a standard construction bungalow on a large housing estate near a large supermarket for probably 40% LTV; the lender we had expected to say 'yes' without difficulty said no due to the proximity of commercial premises (the supermarket). looking online this appears to be a common restriction...

While we could look for another property that will take time and is an uncertain risk; so in the meantime does anyone have any recommended lenders that are more likely to accept this scenario?

Thanks,
A
