Owning your business premises converts rent — a pure expense — into EMI that builds an appreciating asset. A commercial property purchase loan funds a new or resale office, shop, showroom or commercial-complex unit, typically at 60–70% of the lower of agreement value and the lender's valuation, with the balance as your margin.
Underwriting looks at two things: the property (builder reputation and approvals for under-construction units; title chain, occupancy certificate and use permission for resale) and the buyer (business cash flows or professional income servicing the EMI within DSCR/FOIR norms). Ready, occupancy-certified units in established commercial locations clear fastest and price best.
CreditCares runs the whole cycle — pre-checking the property's legal file before you commit token money, matching your profile to lenders with appetite for that asset class, and negotiating rate, LTV and processing fees across the panel.

Frequently asked questions
How much margin do I need to buy a commercial property?
Plan for 30–40% of the property value from your own funds, plus stamp duty and registration (which lenders don't finance for commercial deals). On a ₹2 Crore office, that's roughly ₹60–80 Lakh margin plus statutory costs.
Are rates higher than home loans?
Yes — commercial purchase funding prices about 1–2.5% above home loans because the asset class carries higher risk weights. It still beats renting long-term in most established markets once appreciation and rent escalation are counted.
Can I buy an under-construction commercial unit on loan?
Yes, from RERA-registered projects by builders on the lender's approved list, with disbursement linked to construction stages. Builder due diligence is critical — weak developers are the top source of stuck commercial purchases.
Will expected rent from the new property count toward eligibility?
For pre-leased purchases, yes — many lenders add contracted rent to your income or underwrite the deal as LRD. For vacant units, a few lenders take notional rent at a haircut; most rely on your business income alone.
New purchase versus loan against my existing property — which is cheaper?
If you already own unencumbered property, raising a LAP against it and buying the new unit outright is sometimes cheaper and simpler than a purchase loan. We compare both structures on total cost before you apply.
