Mortgaging a Holiday Let

The rules surrounding mortgages for holiday homes differ significantly from standard by-to-let mortgages.  

When considering taking out a holiday let mortgage, you should bear in mind that only a handful of specialist brokerages and building societies offer holiday home mortgages, so we suggest you seek professional advice from a broker to find out what your options are. 

Holiday property mortgages typically require a minimum deposit of 25%. Mortgage lenders will also assess affordability and look for the rental income from your property to be between 130-150% of the monthly mortgage payment. 

How we can help

Our property recruitment team can generate property proposals with rental rates and income to support your mortgage application.
