- where you are borrowing freehold (that is buying the property) you can borrow up to 70% of the yard’s value, however, if you guarantee the loan with another property some lenders will allow you to borrow 100% of the value of the yard.
- Where you are only purchasing the business, you may be able to borrow up to 50% of the business’ value.
- The maximum loan terms most lenders offer is limited to 20 years in some cases.

- Some banks will want to see that where you are just buying freehold that the tenant has signed a lease for at least 5 years. Background on the tenant is important
- Whether you are just offering the car yard as security or whether you are also offering another standard residential or commercial security
- Banks will consider whether the yard you are buying is specialised- potentially making it more difficult to sell if you were to default on your loan.
