FAQs
What’s the difference between a holiday let mortgage and a buy to let mortgage?
A Holiday Let Mortgage allows clients to purchase a property they can rent out to people on a short-term basis for holidays. It differs from a buy to let mortgage that expects rentals to be more long-term. This means that a client who needs a mortgage for a holiday home is more likely to meet the lending criteria for a holiday let mortgage compared to a buy to let mortgage that assumes the property is rented out for six to 12 months at a time.
How much can you borrow?
Up to 75% Loan To Value (LTV) oftentimes with loans customarily from £50,000 to £1.5 million. Usually the actual amount a Lender will lend is determined by your ability to afford the loan based on your expected holiday let rental income. You will likely need to show that the property can yield a minimum rental income and a Lender will usually take an average income over high, medium and low seasons.
