Part Commercial Properties

Some part commercial properties can be accepted on normal residential terms (subject to a satisfactory valuation):

 Type of Property
Bed & Breakfast (no more than 4 bedrooms allocated to paying guests)
Live/Work Units (purpose built)
One room used as an office/consulting room (with a second room used as a waiting room if necessary)
Properties that have an annexe used for non-commercial purposes. (If the annexe was let on a short term assured tenancy basis or as a holiday let this would be acceptable)

Where the business income is required to support the mortgage this is acceptable subject to it satisfying our normal underwriting requirements.
