Guest House Mortgages

Welcome to a kinder approach to guest house mortgages

Hospitality is all about treating your customers well. We know the difference a little kindness can make when applying for, or renewing, your commercial mortgage for a guest house. With over 20 years’ experience in hospitality lending, our guest house mortgage experts are dedicated to providing a personal, straightforward and responsible service.

We look beyond the numbers to help you grow your business – whether you want to pursue a commercial mortgage for the purchase of a new guest house, or refinance an existing one, our expert commercial mortgage team will guide you through the process every step of the way.

A relationship managed service

We offer a fully relationship managed service with every customer provided with a single point of contact. Our team of experts will take the time to get to know you and your business from the outset. Based across the UK, our team of relationship managers understand the geographical areas they cover.

At The Cumberland, we’ve got real people making real decisions for real people like you. We look at cases differently, and our decisions are made by real people, not robots.

Your mortgage is secured on your property. Think carefully before securing other debts against your property. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
