Many commercial property investors assume the Bank of England base rate is the only interest rate that matters. In reality, commercial lenders consider a much wider range of economic factors when pricing debt.
In this episode, I explain why commercial mortgage rates can increase even when the base rate remains unchanged, how lenders assess future risk, and what this means for commercial property investors.
I also explore how rising borrowing costs affect not only landlords, but tenants too, influencing business expansion, demand for commercial space and ultimately investment performance.
Topics covered include:
How the Bank of England base rate works
Why commercial mortgage rates don't always follow the base rate
The factors lenders consider when pricing commercial debt
How higher borrowing costs affect deal analysis
Why interest rates influence tenant demand as well as investors
How I'm stress-testing acquisitions in today's market
Building resilience into your commercial property portfolio
Understanding the cost of debt is about far more than watching the next interest rate announcement. It's about understanding how lenders think and ensuring your investments remain resilient in an ever-changing economic environment.
