Looking for a mortgage on a warehouse in Andover? Andover sits in Hampshire, within the South East industrial market. We are a finance arranger, not a lender: we arrange commercial mortgages and the full range of warehouse finance on Andover industrial units, from purchase and bridging through development and stabilisation to long-term term loans, across Hampshire.
Lenders underwrite a Andover warehouse on its own fundamentals first, the tenant covenant, the lease, the building and the exit, then test it against the regional market. Prime logistics rents in South East run at about £23.50/sq ft (South East & East, Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025) and prime yields at 4.9% (South East & East, Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025). Those are regional benchmarks from the research houses, not a Andover-specific measurement, but they frame the rent, value and debt serviceability a lender works to here.
Commercial mortgages for warehouses in Andover
A commercial mortgage is the core way to buy or refinance an income-producing warehouse in Andover. We arrange purchase and investment finance for let industrial units, typically to around 65 to 75 percent loan to value, and term loans that hold the asset for the long run on 5 to 25 year terms. The rent the unit produces drives the loan: a lender sizes the commercial mortgage against the rental income and yield, the tenant covenant and the unexpired lease term. Owner-occupiers buying their own Andover unit can sometimes borrow more against the strength of the trading business, and investors can remortgage to release equity as values and rents grow. We place each commercial mortgage with the lender that prices the asset best across Hampshire.
Industrial unit and logistics finance across Hampshire
Each warehouse sub-type is a commercial mortgage in its own right, underwritten differently. We arrange finance for big-box distribution warehouses, multi-let industrial estates, urban and last-mile logistics, cold storage, manufacturing and light-industrial units, trade-counter parades and open-storage yards in Andover and across Hampshire. A big-box let to a single tenant on a long lease and a multi-let estate with a dozen occupiers are credit-assessed in very different ways, and knowing which lender prices each best is the work we do before a deal reaches credit.
Finance we arrange for Andover units
How much you can borrow against a Andover warehouse
On a let investment warehouse in Andover, a commercial mortgage usually reaches around 65 to 75 percent loan to value, so you would budget for a deposit of roughly a quarter to a third of the price. The figure is driven by the tenant covenant, the unexpired lease term and the building, not the postcode. Owner-occupier purchases can go higher against the trading business. Bridging finance funds an auction or a part-let unit quickly at a lower day-one leverage, and development finance funds a build to around 65 to 75 percent of cost. Interest rates depend on the lender, the loan to value and whether the unit is owner-occupied or held as an investment, so we quote them deal by deal rather than as a headline rate. We size the right facility, rate and deposit for your Andover deal.

The South East industrial property market
Andover is an established industrial market within South East, the kind of location lenders are comfortable underwriting. Well-let modern stock attracts competitive commercial-mortgage and term-loan terms, while bridging and development finance suit value-add and ground-up plays where the exit is clear.
The ring of counties around London, plus the Cambridge and Thames Gateway corridors, combine high values with strong occupier demand and the deep-sea gateway at London Gateway.
The South East and East of England carries the second-highest prime rents in the country after London, supported by consumer proximity and the deep-sea container gateways at London Gateway and Felixstowe. Land is constrained and values are high, so schemes here turn on securing well-located sites; yields near 4.9% reflect strong investor appetite for the region's prime logistics stock.

Sources and methodology
The rent, yield, take-up and availability figures on this page are reported by the major property research houses at South East or key-market level, not for Andover individually. We present them as regional context for a Andover appraisal and attribute each figure to its source firm and period (Cushman & Wakefield). Town-level detail above, such as the local authority, road access and named estates, is factual. We do not publish a Andover-specific rent or yield as if it were measured. For national context, total England and Wales industrial floorspace on the rating list is 410.8m sq m at an average rateable value of £42/sq m (VOA, 31 Mar 2025).
FAQ
Warehouse property finance in Andover: common questions
Can you get a mortgage on a warehouse in Andover?
Yes. A warehouse or industrial unit in Andover is financed with a commercial mortgage rather than a residential one. We arrange them for both investors buying a let unit and owner-occupiers buying premises for their own business, typically to around 65 to 75 percent loan to value, and we place each one with a lender that backs the asset.
How much deposit do I need to buy a warehouse in Andover?
Most commercial mortgages on a Andover warehouse reach around 65 to 75 percent loan to value, so plan for a deposit of roughly 25 to 35 percent of the purchase price. Owner-occupiers can sometimes put down less against the strength of the trading business, and bridging finance can move faster at a lower day-one leverage.
What are Andover warehouse mortgage rates and terms?
Rates depend on the lender, the tenant covenant, the loan to value and whether the unit is an investment or owner-occupied, so we quote them deal by deal rather than as a headline. Terms typically run 5 to 25 years on a commercial mortgage. For market context, prime logistics rents in South East run at about £23.50/sq ft on Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025 figures, a regional benchmark rather than a Andover-specific measurement.
Can I refinance or remortgage a warehouse in Andover?
Yes. We arrange remortgages and refinances of Andover industrial units, whether you are moving off a bridging facility onto a term loan, releasing equity, or simply improving your rate as a lease matures. Development exit and stabilisation finance bridge a newly built or part-let unit through to a long-term commercial mortgage.
