Important tips for a retail mortgage

Are you going to finance a retail property? Super exciting! But there are a few things you really shouldn't forget before applying for that mortgage. Here are some helpful tips to help you get started.

Apply for retail property financing with or without an intermediary?

You can choose to apply for financing yourself or do this through an intermediary or intermediary. Applying yourself means that you have direct contact with the lender. This can be faster and you have more control. However, an intermediary can take a lot of work off your hands and often has access to multiple financing options. They're like a personal guide who guides you through the process.

Renovate your store or build a new one?

Are you thinking about renovating your current retail building or building a completely new one? Both options have their pros and cons. Renovation can be cheaper and take less time. But new construction gives you the chance to design everything exactly according to your needs. It's like choosing between refurbishing an old bike or buying a brand new one.

Buying or refinancing your retail property?

If you want to buy a new retail property, take a good look at the location and condition of the property. These are important funding factors. Do you want to refinance? This can be useful if you can get better terms or want to free up money for other investments. It's like transferring your mortgage to take advantage of lower monthly payments.

Amortization free for 50% retail property mortgage

At Briqwise, you can opt for an amortization free mortgage up to 50% of the value of your retail property. This means lower monthly payments because you only pay interest on that part of the loan. Ideal if you want to keep more cash flow for your company. It's like putting part of your loan 'on hold' for a while.

How much own money do you need for a retail mortgage?

When applying for a retail mortgage, it is important to know how much money you need. At Briqwise, we ask for your own input so that you can get off to a good start financing your retail property. The more equity you can contribute, the more favourable the terms of your mortgage can be.

Frequently asked questions about financing a shophouse

How long does it take to apply for funding?

We aim to achieve financing as soon as possible after receipt of the application. This can be achieved within a few days. However, this also depends mainly on the pace at which you provide the necessary information.

The first step in the application process is to fill in the details on the application form. After receiving this information, an initial assessment will take place within one business day and, if the policy is positive, we will send you a financing plan. If this funding setup is in line with your expectations, after receiving any missing documentation, we will further work out the file and our Letter of Consent will follow. This states all the terms and conditions of the financing. As soon as you sign this Consent Letter, we will contact our investors and they will be able to claim the funding. This is usually fast, but the period that stands for this varies and depends on the financing offered.

After an investor has claimed the financing, we start the notarial process.

 

What information do I need to provide?

Initially you only need to provide the most important information about the property to be financed. See the application form.

Later, we will require more information such as:

  • A valuation report prepared by an approved and certified appraiser
  • Any lease agreements
  • Your most recent Income Tax Return
  • Recent financial statements
  • A copy of your identification
  • A recent excerpt from the Commercial Register

When the Financing Agreement is finalised and the Mortgage Deed completed, a solicitor will process your proof of identity and search the Land Registry for information on other mortgages and any restrictions.

How well is my data protected with Briqwise?

Briqwise adheres to all requirements regarding the protection of data contained in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who finances real estate?

Your property is financed by a Briqwise investor instead of a bank. The mortgage deed passes to the notary and you pay interest and repayment to the investor.

How can I apply for financing with Briqwise?

You can apply for financing on the website by filling out the application form.

If Briqwise’s evaluation of your application is positive, we will contact you to make an appointment. During the intake interview, we meet and discuss the property and your company. In preparation for our meeting, we’ll need you to provide information including annual financials (cash flow, profitability, solvency etc) an Income Tax Return and any publicly available information such as land tax.

If we both choose to move forward, Briqwise will prepare a quotation. After signing, we’ll prepare an Engagement Letter that contains information about you, the financing, and the property. Then we will make the financing available on our website and send the Information Memorandum to interested investors. If an investor makes a claim for your financing, an appointment will be made with a solicitor, after which you will receive your loan.

Then Briqwise will manage the loan and collect monthly instalments.

What does financing with Briqwise cost?

All financing costs for property buyers are listed on the fees page of the website.  

Will my data be accessible to everyone?

Data concerning the property (photos, use, location, and the like) as well as the financing (loan amount, term, interest rate percentage, and the like) will be made available on the Briqwise website and will be accessible to anyone. An appraisal report, data about your company and personal information will only be provided to investors who have been accepted by Briqwise interested in providing finance.
