Holiday Let mortgage calculator

Holiday lets are calculated differently from traditional buy to let mortgages. It is advisable to get bespoke advice so you can be aware of all of the products and services available to you. Once we understand you goals, we can use specific calculators to help you find out how much you can borrow. Not only that, but we will help you work out how much income you could receive from your holiday let once you have paid your mortgage repayments.

Things to consider

Mortgage loans for holiday lets belong to a specialist market, because of this, they require plenty of flexibility when it comes to finding the right product.

Buy-to-Let mortgages are usually granted on the basis that a long-term rent will be received to cover the mortgage. As holiday let income is usually shorter term and more sporadic, the lender will calculate affordability differently.

The lender will be taking into consideration that property will unlikely be let all year round and income will rise and fall dependent on the seasons.

Therefore, it is important to discuss your requirements with a whole-of-market expert who can find the right product to suit your needs as a traditional Buy-to-Let mortgage may not be suitable.

Advantages

Holiday lets offer more flexibility to the property owner, and they will have more access to their property than they would usually by having a long-term tenant.  

In down seasons they will be able to enjoy the property for themselves and rather than worrying about tenants, you can start thinking about weekend guests and earning super host status.
