Understanding Holiday Let Mortgages: A Comprehensive Guide

Whether you’re planning to invest in a cosy cottage, a beachside retreat, or a countryside escape, or already own one and wish to raise funds from it, understanding holiday let mortgages is essential. This guide explains what holiday let mortgages are, how they work, and how you can make the most of them to maximise your investment potential.

What Is a Holiday Let Mortgage?

A holiday let mortgage is a specialist loan designed for purchasing properties intended for short-term rental use. These properties are typically rented to holidaymakers, and lenders allow a limited number of days for personal use. If you take out a loan with us, you can use your property for personal purposes for up to 90 days per year.

Unlike standard buy-to-let mortgages, which are used for long-term rental agreements, holiday let mortgages are tailored specifically for short-term lets. This offers flexibility to accommodate seasonal income fluctuations while meeting the unique needs of holiday property investors.

Key Features of Holiday Let Mortgages

1.    Flexible Rental Terms
Holiday let mortgages allow you to rent out your property for short stays, ranging from just a few days to several weeks.

2.    Slightly Higher Interest Rates
Due to the seasonal and sometimes unpredictable nature of rental income, holiday let mortgages often come with higher interest rates compared to traditional buy-to-let loans.

·         Unique Affordability Criteria
We accept 100% of current yearly holiday income from a SA302 or accounts certificate. Also, we can use surplus income or personal income to strengthen application.
