Shawbrook increases maximum LTV for office properties to 75%

Shawbrook has enhanced its commercial mortgage proposition, increasing the maximum LTV for office properties to 75%.

Over the past 12 months, Shawbrook says investor appetite for commercial property has remained resilient, with well-located office assets in particular showing signs of capital value and yield stabilisation.

The latest change follows similar maximum LTV increases in the industrial and retail sectors introduced by the specialist lender during 2024. 

Daryl Norkett, director of real estate proposition at Shawbrook, commented: “Increasing our maximum LTVs for the Office sector to 75% is another way that we’re evolving our proposition in response to ever-changing market dynamics. Throughout 2024, we saw growing investor confidence in commercial property — particularly in offices that are well-positioned and future-fit.

"This move not only reflects the increased stability we’re seeing in the office sector but also underlines our ongoing support for professional investors seeking to diversify and grow with the market opportunities.”
