Aparthotel & Serviced Accommodation Mortgages

Aparthotels and serviced accommodation present good opportunities for investors, with over 40% of the market shared by independent operators as opposed to groups or chains. Annual growth is expected to be around 5.7%, with over 70% of new supply coming from independent operators. If you’re looking for a new property venture where groups or chains do not have a monopoly on the market, the serviced accommodation sector may be the right choice.

Serviced accommodation falls within the expectations of the commercial property sector, with mainstream lenders often hesitating to offer attractive terms to investors unless you’ve got a strong existing portfolio and a well-planned application. Even then, if you don’t approach the right lender, you may find yourself receiving an underwhelming offer that doesn’t suit your needs. 

If you’ve found this page by researching how to get a large loan for an aparthotel or serviced accomodation unit, then you're in luck. With Rangewell, you can instead find lenders who understand the serviced accommodation model and are willing to support investors in the sector with commercial mortgages built around your needs. 

Commercial mortgages for serviced accommodation

Serviced accommodation is a specialist type of property that is typically owned by a landlord, and often managed by an agency. This could cover both holiday accommation, like apartments for city centre breaks, or longer-term accommodation for professionals traveling for work, for example.

Regardless of your target market, you will likely need a commercial mortgage to make the initial property purchase. This will require a significant deposit of 20-30%, extending up to 50% if you don't have experience in the industry. There are so many different products on the market for those buying property for serviced accommodation, so making sure you get the right deal with a lender that understands your goals is critical to your success.

Rangewell's team of experts can help you apply for a commercial mortgage for your serviced accommodation, ensuring you find the funding that works for you.

Finance for aparthotel & serviced accommodation renovation

Once you've purchased your serviced accommodaqtion, you may face a funding gap if you need to do further work to the property to renovate it and make it attractive to tenants. 

Serviced accommodation, in particular, is a fairly competitive space where tenants can easily ‘bounce’ from a provider they have a bad experience with. Considering many of the tenants you want to attract will be part of a larger company, providing a sub-par service can have long-lasting ramifications on your potential bookings. 

To help investors make the most of their property opportunities, we can also find additional business finance to help you pay for renovations, outfitting and other improvements to the property. In many cases, this finance can also be used to help bridge capital gaps for things like paying staff salaries or purchasing assets. 

Whatever your funding requirements look like, working with Rangewell means you won’t be left without any options once you’ve agreed your commercial mortgage. We will discuss your plans for the business and identify any requirements for further finance, then help you find the right lender and loan type to get your serviced accommodation up and running. 

Refinancing serviced accommodation 

When it comes to remortgage or refinancing serviced accommodation, there are several factors to consider. Often these properties are in up-and-coming areas of the city, so the value of the building may have increased since your initial purchase. You might also be considering refinancing to release funds for another similar property purchase or to invest in a renovation project. Whatever you have in mind, refinancing can be a great way to ensure your finance products are working for you.

Remember, you don't have to go back to your original lender when it's time to refinance or remortgage. In fact, it's best to look at the whole of market and make sure your next loan is working towards your future goals. At Rangewell, we are independent of any one lender, and can therefore help you apply for and access comemrcial loans with both large banks and specialist lenders.
