Shawbrook expands arrangement fee options across commercial range

Shawbrook has enhanced its commercial and semi-commercial investment proposition, introducing a broader range of arrangement fee options to give brokers and their clients greater flexibility when structuring finance.

The update brings the commercial and semi-commercial ranges into closer alignment with the flexible structure introduced across Shawbrook's buy-to-let proposition last year.

Across the commercial range, brokers can now access 1%, 3% and 5% arrangement fee options, while the semi-commercial range will offer 2%, 3% and 5% options. These are available across two, three, five and 10-year fixed rates, with pricing structured to remain aligned to Shawbrook’s existing front book positioning.

Daryl Norkett, director of real estate proposition at Shawbrook, commented: "We know from working closely with brokers and professional investors that structuring a deal is rarely straightforward. Every client’s portfolio, cashflow position and long term strategy is different, and a one size fits all approach does not reflect how this market operates.

"By expanding our arrangement fee options across commercial and semi-commercial, we are giving brokers more practical tools to shape funding around the realities of each transaction. For some, that may mean keeping upfront costs lower. For others, it is about managing monthly payments or supporting a wider investment strategy.

"This is a natural progression for us. As a specialist lender, our role is to understand the nuances of complex real estate transactions and respond with flexible solutions that genuinely work for experienced investors in today’s market."
