Warehouse Property Finance arranges commercial mortgages on warehouses across Northamptonshire. Whether you are buying an income-producing industrial unit, refinancing a warehouse onto a commercial mortgage, or funding a ground-up logistics scheme, we model the facility for your Daventry deal and place it with the right lender. Daventry sits in Northamptonshire, within the East Midlands industrial market.
Lenders underwrite a Daventry 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 East Midlands run at about £10.50/sq ft (East Midlands, Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025) and prime yields at 5.15% (East Midlands, Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025). Those are regional benchmarks from the research houses, not a Daventry-specific measurement, but they frame the rent, value and debt serviceability a lender works to here.
Commercial mortgages for warehouses in Daventry
A commercial mortgage is the core way to buy or refinance an income-producing warehouse in Daventry. 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 Daventry 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 Northamptonshire.
Industrial unit and logistics finance across Northamptonshire
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 Daventry and across Northamptonshire. 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 Daventry units
How much you can borrow against a Daventry warehouse
On a let investment warehouse in Daventry, 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 Daventry deal.

The East Midlands industrial property market
Daventry is a prime industrial location within East Midlands. Strong occupier demand and keen investment yields support competitive leverage on well-let stock, and lenders compete hardest for prime, modern, well-located units here. Older or vacant units are funded on more cautious terms, with the business plan and exit doing the work.
The logistics heartland of the UK, the Golden Triangle around the M1, M6 and M42 reaches most of the country's population within a four-hour drive.
The East Midlands remains the first port of call for national distribution requirements, and the highest full-year take-up region in 2025. Availability has risen as speculative space completed, which gives occupiers more choice than at the 2022 peak, but the development pipeline is thinning and prime rents continue to grow. For investors and developers this is the most liquid big-box market in the country.
Market commentary and figures for East Midlands are drawn from Cushman & Wakefield (Marketbeat Logistics & Industrial, Q2 2025).
Sources and methodology
The rent, yield, take-up and availability figures on this page are reported by the major property research houses at East Midlands or key-market level, not for Daventry individually. We present them as regional context for a Daventry 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 Daventry-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 Daventry: common questions
Can you get a mortgage on a warehouse in Daventry?
Yes. A warehouse or industrial unit in Daventry 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 Daventry?
Most commercial mortgages on a Daventry 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 Daventry 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 East Midlands run at about £10.50/sq ft on Cushman & Wakefield, Q2 2025 figures, a regional benchmark rather than a Daventry-specific measurement.
Can I refinance or remortgage a warehouse in Daventry?
Yes. We arrange remortgages and refinances of Daventry 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.
