Commercial Mortgages & Property Finance in Keswick

Keswick is the principal town of the northern Lake District, set between Derwentwater and Skiddaw at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town's economy is almost entirely tourism-driven, supporting a high concentration of hotels, outdoor equipment shops, and restaurants. Commercial property is scarce and commands premium values reflecting the national park setting.
