    A commercial mortgage is similar to a residential mortgage in that funds can be borrowed over a long period of time, usually a maximum of 30 years, secured by a first charge on the property being bought.

    In taking first charge, the lender is first in the queue to recover any debt if the property ever needs to be sold. This could happen because the mortgagee wishes to move on and sells, or perhaps has defaulted on the repayments causing the lender to foreclose.

    If a first charge business mortgage already exists, it is common for different lenders to advance money secured by way of a second charge which puts that lender as second in the ’security queue’.

    Unlike residential mortgages, nearly all commercial mortgages are variable rate loans which vary in line with the Base Rate set by the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee. So, if a mortgage lender offers terms which include an interest rate of say ‘2% over base’ then a base rate of 4.5% would result in an interest rate of 6.5% being applied to the loan.

    Some lenders will link their interest rates to LIBOR, which is the London Inter Bank Offered Rate. LIBOR is published every day in the Financial Times and can be found on a number of other financial websites.

    Commercial Mortgages can be secured against all kinds of freehold or long leasehold properties, such as shops, pubs, care homes, restaurants, offices, industrial factory units and more. Applying for a commercial mortgage is very much like that of a residential mortgage except that the maximum that can be borrowed is 60% of the assessed Market Value, although one or two lenders will advancelend up to 75% depending upon the proposal.

    These percentages are known as the Loan-to-Value ratio, or LTV. A lower LTV means that the risk to the lender is reduced. The higher the LTV, the greater the risk to the lender and it is likely that a higher interest rate would be charged.

    Lenders will not generally advance above 75% LTV to ensure that there would be enough security in the event of a forced sale, perhaps through auction when it is expected that property will sell at a discounted rate. When looking for a commercial mortgage it is advisable to shop around for the best deals and to use a specialist commercial finance broker who will possess the necessary specialist knowledge to advise you accordingly.

    The New Credit Card Law

    February 27, 2010 by Roselyn

    The unfair credit card rate hikes was just one of the issues why the new credit card law was created and implemented.  Though advocates for consumer rights are still seeking for more consumer protection law and say that the new law is insufficient or might even bring about more difficulties to people who seek to get credit cards or people who are already credit card holders.

    Presently, credit card consumers who suffer the most are those considered “risky” due to the high interest rates and fees being slapped on them.  The reason given by lenders is that customers belonging to the “risk” group are the ones who are prone to be at risk of loan default and raising fees and interest rates are their only “guarantee” to get repaid.  The new law will present restrictions that will somehow reduce this kind of practice but there are also some revived regulations that could be taken advantage.

    One of the new yet not so new regulations are the annual fees which was removed a decade ago.  Even if annual fees have already been included to a considerable number of statements, all credit card holders will now have to deal with annual fees. 

    Ways to create added revenue were also created by some credit companies.  One of which is known as inactivity fee which can amount up to $20 for those who have refrained from using their credit card for half a year.  Another one is known as processing fee where $1 gets charged to new customers who apply for credit cards and it’s for the processing of paper statement.

    Existing fees were also raised and one of them is the balance transfer fee.  From 3 percent to 5 percent, one particular financial institution, JPMorgan Chase, now charges customers who opt to do balance transfers to another provider in an effort to lower their credit card debt.  Customers who want to do balance transfers have no choice but to pay since the only way that an effective balance transfer could take effect is coordination between the old and new provider.

    The interest rate last year was just 10.7 percent but the new interest rate was increased to 13.6 percent.  Later this year, base rates will also be increased and this would be a concrete legitimate basis for lenders to raise variable interest rates as well.

    The ability to get and keep credit cards is also harder nowadays.  Nowadays, lenders granting credit cards has become more stricter and are doing all sorts of measure to reduce risks.  Due to the financial crisis, not only did banks tighten the way they grant credit, but they also devised a lot of schemes to drive their credit card revenues up.

    Credit limits were also cut for millions of people.  An estimated available credit amounting to $1 trillion is said to have been eliminated by doing this.  The most cuts on credit limits that occurred in California and Florida because of the high unemployment rate and housing crisis. 

    People should also not be surprised if they are not receiving credit card solicitation in their mail anymore.  Compared to year 2000 up to 2008 which had an average of 2.3 billion solicitations, only a quarter of this figure have been recorded in 2009.

    The new law has provided a few restrictions too and getting around these restrictions will be part of many lenders’ strategies.  This is an additional factor why banks will be more reluctant to issue credit cards especially to those who have low credit ratings and low FICO scores.  A good credit rating will be the only full-proof way for someone to be granted a credit card.

    A garage door can either be opened manually or by using a garage door opener. Although of many designs, most garage doors are sectional, upward-acting, and self-storing. Garage doors should be large enough to allow passage of automobiles or trucks.

    Garage doors can be made out of many materials, but steel, aluminum, wood, and vinyl (polyethylene) are the most popular materials. Some manufacturers are making energy efficient garage doors by putting foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation in the steel door.

    A common material for a new garage door is a roll formed steel sheet to look like a raised panel wooden door. Steel doors are available in non-insulated, insulated, and double skin steel. A design mimicking carriage house doors has become quite popular since about 2002, and many manufacturers clad the exterior of a steel door with composite or vinyl boards to give it an external appearance of wood. Steel carriage doors are becoming the most popular carriage door due to weight of the door, no rotting, and a large amount of designs. A more economical alternative for garage doors is steel stamped construction.

    For those houses located in hurricane-prone areas, a wind loaded residential garage doors would provide safety and security. It is especially engineered and designed to withstand the strongest winds.

    A typical overhead garage door consists of several panels hinged together that roll along a system of tracks guided by rollers. The weight of the door is balanced by either a torsion spring system or a pair of extension springs. For maintenance and safety, the balance of the door should be checked monthly. One should be able to raise and lower the door without any resistance and it should smoothly roll along the tracks and should remain stationary at any point of travel. Usually a door that does not pass these tests is out of balance and should be adjusted. It is usually recommended that only a trained door technician with the proper instructions or a mechanically experienced person adjust or replace the springs. All moving parts of the door should also be lubricated monthly.
