Next scheduled review: 2026-09-14

commercial refinance in London prices off the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 185 bps commercial refinance spread, landing at 5.00% indicative. Replacement debt on maturing terms, often with an equity take-out. On the $3,200,000 average London transaction, a 75% advance is $2,400,000, carrying $168,362 of annual debt service on a 25-year amortization and a 5-year term.

Coverage binds before leverage here. At a wide 6.1% cap rate the asset throws off roughly $195,200 of NOI, which supports $2,226,061 at the 1.25x floor — about $173,939 below the 75% LTV ceiling. Underwrite to the coverage number and treat the LTV cap as a secondary test, or bring the gap in equity.

London scores 100 on the Capitalor Lender Density Score — a deep market, with 29 tracked lenders and brokers against 9,400 commercial buildings. Expect competitive tension on well-covenanted paper: quote at least three lenders before accepting a spread.

ActQuestions

What rate should I expect on commercial refinance in London?

5.00% indicative — the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 185 bps commercial refinance spread. Individual quotes move with covenant strength, asset quality, and sponsor track record, and London's deep lender market widens or narrows that dispersion.

How large a loan does a typical London deal support?

On the $3,200,000 average transaction, a 75% advance is $2,400,000. Coverage separately caps the loan at $2,226,061 using $195,200 of NOI against a 1.25x floor, so the binding number is $2,226,061.

Does coverage or leverage bind first on this product in London?

Coverage. The 6.1% cap rate leaves the DSCR test binding roughly $173,939 below the 75% LTV ceiling, so extra appraised value will not buy extra proceeds.

What is the annual debt service at that loan amount?

$168,362 per year — $14,030 monthly on a 25-year amortization at 5.00%, against a 5-year term.

How much rate headroom is there before the deal breaks coverage?

Roughly 0.00%. Holding the loan and NOI constant, coverage reaches the 1.25x floor at about 4.26% — the number that matters at renewal.

How many lenders write this product in London?

Capitalor tracks 29 active lenders and brokers in London, a Lender Density Score of 100 against 9,400 commercial buildings — a deep market.

Is this pricing a quote?

No. It is an index benchmark published for comparison, not an offer of credit. Capitalor does not originate, broker, or place debt.

How often does this page change?

Benchmark rate observations refresh each business day; the lender census refreshes monthly; cap-rate and transaction seeds refresh quarterly. Nothing is deleted from the series — revisions are appended so prior observations stay auditable.
