The holiday property mortgage lender may require the property to be available for a minimum number of nights per year.
Some lenders will only lend if the property could also be used as a standard let.
We also have specialist lenders for properties on holiday parks.
Lenders take into account your personal income but the projected rental income from the property will be most important.
The affordability calculations for your holiday home mortgage will be primarily based on the property income, either through the accounts or an assessment from a rental agency.
A good credit history is great to get you the best holiday property funding package, although we can help explore options for those with less-than-perfect credit.
If you’re not sure it’s good to check your credit report before you apply.

Property:
Any property being let on a short term basis could be suitable for a holiday home mortgage. It could even apply to properties which are let to contractors or short term workers – otherwise known as Serviced Accommodation.
No, although some lenders will only support areas with good tourist appeal, others will let you purchase wherever the property is, we’ll just have to ensure that the income will cover the mortgage payments comfortably.
The mortgage will allow for short term lets, in many cases it will have a maximum stay within it’s terms (let us know if you’d like more flexibility or to flip between tenancies and holiday makers).
