HOLIDAY HOME MORTGAGES
Holiday home mortgages can be difficult to arrange and many lenders won’t lend on a property that is going to be used or let out as a holiday home. The most important thing to consider is the intended use for the home.
If you are hoping to purchase a holiday home for yourself and don’t intend to rent it out regularly, it can be easier to arrange, as it will be known as a second home mortgage. If you do intend to rent out your holiday home, you will need a dedicated holiday home mortgage, which is a niche area of finance.
Our team of expert mortgage advisors have vast experience in a wide range of products including holiday home mortgage.
How does a holiday home mortgage work?
Holiday home mortgages differ from standard buy to let mortgages, and the affordability criteria can be more strict. Rental income for a holiday home is usually seasonal, and you will likely need a larger deposit.
There are fewer lenders available in this market, and as the owner of the holiday-let, you will be responsible for things like council tax and utility fees. These are all considerations that should be taken very seriously before deciding to go ahead with a holiday home mortgage. Luckily, our team at Watts have the right experience to assist you.
Taking out a holiday home mortgage
Property owners need to consider the array of costs that come with a holiday home, such as insurance, mortgage fees, maintenance bills and those periods where you may not have any visitors. By getting independent financial advice before you make a decision, you can feel confident knowing that you can afford the holiday home mortgage and other costs that come with it.
Our highly qualified specialists have experience in niche areas of finance, and we have great relationships with a range of banks and lenders to help you find the right mortgage product. We also have experience in wider financial planning, taking time to understand your circumstances before offering tailored advice and recommendations.
