We cover senior investment commercial mortgages at 6.0 to 7.5 percent on 60 to 75 percent LTV, owner-occupier deals at 6.0 to 7.25 percent for trading businesses with two years of clean accounts, mezzanine at 11 to 14 percent, and bridging commercial at 0.55 to 0.80 percent per month. We unpack the DSCR norm of 1.30 to 1.40 times that the Birmingham lender panel is asking for on investment cases, the ICR expectation of 130 to 140 percent on interest-only structures, and the 250 to 300 basis-point stress test above pay rate that most underwriters apply.

We walk through where the Birmingham deals are actually flowing in Q2 2026:

• Colmore Row and Snow Hill as the prime office quarters setting the rent evidence
• Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth as the creative-led mixed-use cluster taking conversion finance
• Tyburn, Witton, and Solihull as the last-mile industrial corridor absorbing space faster than the local pipeline can deliver

We finish with a typical Birmingham broker case shape and the twelve-month outlook for borrowers.
