Commercial Mortgages Bristol: Q2 2026 Market Outlook | Pricing, Lenders, Case Studies
The Q2 2026 commercial mortgage market in Bristol: A full walkthrough of pricing across the capital stack, lender appetite by sector, and the deals we are placing right now.
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 Bristol 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 Bristol deals are actually flowing in Q2 2026:
- Temple Quarter and Glass Wharf as the prime office quarters setting the rent evidence
- Harbourside and Wapping Wharf as the creative-led mixed-use cluster taking conversion finance
- Avonmouth, Severnside, and Filton as the last-mile industrial corridor absorbing space faster than the local pipeline can deliver
We finish with a typical Bristol broker case study and the twelve-month outlook for borrowers.
