Mortgages for Holiday Lets

Unlock the earning potential of UK staycations. We arrange specialist mortgages for lucrative short-term holiday lets and Airbnb properties.

Capitalising on the Staycation Market

Holiday lets represent one of the most attractive sectors in property investment today. However, standard Buy-to-Let lenders will not accept the short-term tenancy model. We navigate the specialist Holiday Let market for you:

Higher Yield Potential & Stress Testing
Holiday lets typically generate significantly more income than standard AST rentals during peak seasons. We work with lenders who understand and accurately stress-test these fluctuating seasonal incomes, often taking an average over the low, medium, and high seasons to maximise your borrowing capacity.
Tax Advantages (FHL)
Unlike standard BTLs, Furnished Holiday Lets (FHLs) have historically been treated as trading businesses. While tax rules evolve, this classification can sometimes allow you to still deduct mortgage interest from your rental income and benefit from specific Capital Gains Tax reliefs (we always advise consulting your accountant to confirm current rules).
Personal Use Allowances
Want to enjoy your investment yourself? Many of our specialist holiday let lenders allow you to use the property for your own personal holidays for up to 60 or 90 days a year. This blends a profitable investment with a fantastic lifestyle asset for your family.
Airbnb & Short-Term Platforms
Not all lenders permit properties to be listed on platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com, strictly categorising them as commercial endeavours. We ensure your application is placed with lenders who actively encourage and support the modern short-term let model.
