Every facility we arrange is grounded in the market evidence. Prime industrial and logistics rents in West Midlands run to £10.25/sq ft (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025), with prime equivalent yields around 5.25% (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025).

Commercial mortgages on Aldridge industrial units
A commercial mortgage is the core way to buy or refinance an industrial unit in Aldridge. For investors, lenders size the loan against the rent: typically up to around 65 to 70 percent loan to value, tested so the net rental income covers the interest with a clear margin, with the tenancy schedule, the estimated rental value and the re-letting depth of the Aldridge market all part of the assessment. For owner-occupiers buying their own premises the loan is underwritten on the trading business instead, its accounts and its debt service cover, and can reach around 70 to 80 percent for established firms. Terms run from 5 to 25 years. We place each facility with the lender that prices Aldridge industrial property best across West Midlands County.
Warehouses, multi-let estates and trade counters across West Midlands County
Each property type is underwritten differently. We arrange finance for distribution and logistics warehouses, multi-let industrial estates, trade counters, workshops and light industrial units, hybrid and flex space, urban and last-mile logistics and open storage yards in Aldridge and across West Midlands County. A let distribution warehouse on a long lease to a single covenant, a fully let estate of small units with dozens of SME tenancies, and a vacant workshop bought at auction are credit-assessed in very different ways, and knowing which lender backs each format is the work we do before a deal reaches credit. Multi-let estates carry short leases that re-gear to market quickly, which lenders read as reversionary income, while distribution sheds and trade counters lean on the covenant strength and unexpired term of the tenant.

How much you can borrow against Aldridge industrial property
On an industrial investment in Aldridge, a commercial mortgage usually reaches around 65 to 70 percent of value, so you would budget for equity of roughly a third of the price plus stamp duty and costs. The figure is driven by the quality of the income, the tenants, the unexpired lease terms and the condition of the unit, not the postcode. Vacant or part-let property is funded differently: bridging finance secures an auction purchase or a unit awaiting letting, typically to around 70 to 75 percent of value from around 0.75 percent per month, and development or refurbishment finance funds works to around 65 to 75 percent of cost, with mezzanine stretching the stack where the scheme supports it. Interest rates depend on the lender, the leverage and the income profile, so we quote them deal by deal rather than as a headline rate. We size the right facility, rate and equity requirement for your Aldridge deal.

The West Midlands industrial and logistics market
Aldridge is an established industrial market within West Midlands, the kind of catchment lenders are comfortable underwriting. Well-let units and estates attract competitive commercial-mortgage and term-debt pricing, while bridging and refurbishment finance suit vacant units, auction purchases and value-add plays where the exit is clear.
The West Midlands took the largest share of national big-box take-up in the final quarter of 2025 and was the only region where availability fell over the quarter, anchored on Birmingham and the M6, M5 and M42 box.
With more than half of 2025 take-up speculative and availability the only region to fall over the quarter, Savills expects West Midlands vacancy to keep falling, supporting prime rents around £10.25/sq ft.
Market commentary and figures for West Midlands are drawn from CBRE (UK Logistics Q4 2025, Feb 2026); Knight Frank (UK Logistics Market Dashboard, Jan 2026); Colliers (Industrial and Logistics Rents Maps H2 2025, Jun 2025).
Sources and methodology
Industrial and logistics market figures are published nationally or regionally, not per town, so the rents, vacancy and yields on this page are presented as context for a Aldridge appraisal and attributed to their sources (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025). Town-level facts are different: road access, the named estates, the planning authority are genuinely local and sourced. We do not publish a Aldridge-specific rent or yield as if it were measured. Nationally, UK big-box logistics take-up reached 25.6m sq ft in 2025 (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, 2025).
FAQ
Industrial and logistics finance in Aldridge: common questions
Can you get a mortgage on an industrial unit in Aldridge?
Yes. An industrial unit in Aldridge is financed with a commercial mortgage rather than a residential loan. We arrange them for owner-occupiers buying their own premises, underwritten on the trading business, and for investors buying let units or estates, underwritten on the rent, typically to around 65 to 70 percent loan to value, and we place each one with a lender that backs the sector.
How much deposit do I need to buy an industrial unit in Aldridge?
Most lenders advance around 65 to 70 percent of value on a let Aldridge industrial investment, so plan for equity of roughly 30 to 35 percent of the price plus costs. Established owner-occupiers can often reach around 70 to 80 percent against their own premises. A vacant or short-income unit is funded on more cautious terms, often via a bridge first.
What are Aldridge industrial finance rates and terms?
Rates depend on the lender, the leverage and the income profile of the property, so we quote them deal by deal rather than as a headline. Indicatively, term debt starts from around 6 percent, development finance from around 8 percent and bridging from around 0.75 percent per month, with terms from months on a bridge to 25 years on a commercial mortgage. For market context, prime industrial and logistics rents in West Midlands run to £10.25/sq ft (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025).
Can I fund a multi-let estate or a yard in Aldridge?
Yes. Multi-let industrial estates are funded on the rent roll, with the lender testing interest cover against the net income and the manager's ability to run dozens of small tenancies; open storage and industrial yards are funded against the land with more conservative leverage, typically around 55 to 65 percent. We arrange both routes across West Midlands County.
