Holiday Let Mortgages FAQs
What is a holiday let mortgage?
It’s a mortgage designed for properties that will be let out on a short-term, holiday rental basis rather than to long-term tenants.
Can I stay in the property myself?
Many lenders allow a limited number of weeks per year for personal use, but the primary purpose must be for holiday letting.
How is affordability assessed for a holiday let mortgage?
Most lenders base affordability on the projected rental income, verified by a holiday letting agent or property management company, rather than your personal salary alone.
Can I convert an existing property into a holiday let?
Yes, but you may need to refinance onto a holiday let mortgage to comply with lender terms and conditions.
Do I need landlord experience?
Not always. Some lenders are open to first-time landlords, especially if you work with a professional management company.

Investment Flexibility
Many holiday let mortgages allow limited personal use of the property, so you can enjoy it as a holiday home while earning income when it’s rented.
