Metro Bank has increased the maximum loan-to-value (LTV) available on large commercial mortgages to 75% from 70%.

The lender says changes will be open to all businesses in England and Wales with at least three years trading history.

Metro Bank commercial Banking director Mark Davies says: “For businesses of any size in any sector, the chance to own their own premises can be transformational in terms of enabling future growth and financial security.”

“We are serious about supporting business and we hope that these changes will support entrepreneurs and continue to drive growth across the country.”
