Holiday Lets

WHAT IS A HOLIDAY LET MORTGAGE?
A Holiday Let Mortgage is designed for purchasing or refinancing properties rented out short-term to tourists or travellers. Unlike standard residential mortgages, it accounts for the fluctuating income from holiday rentals.
This type of mortgage requires the borrower to provide evidence of potential rental income and usually demands a higher deposit. Lenders typically assess these loans based on rental projections rather than the borrower’s income, making them ideal for investors in tourist heavy areas.

OUR CLIENTS THOUGHTS
RECENT TESTIMONIALS
Marc worked over many months to help me find the right financial product to suit my complicated refinancing project. Having identified the right product, Marc then worked for many more months to help me get the financing completed. I had so many issues that I had to face and at every obstacle Marc was on hand to help me to resolve it, and very often took it upon himself to do it for me. Marc went for beyond just brokering a good deal for me, he was my partner in making this happen. I could not have done this without his support. Thank you Marc for being so calm and patient and having faith when I had lost mine!

Marc has provided our company with excellent service and advice. He has vast experience and knowledge, and is able to advice on the most suitable lenders given our requirements.
Especially during the legal stage of the lending process, he facilitates and communicates with lenders in a way we would not be able to ourselves.
We would certainly not be where we are without his services. Highly recommended.
