Letting property on a short-term basis using sites such as Air bnb is becoming increasingly more popular, whether this is a room in your own home or an investment property we understand the importance of making sure you have the right mortgage in place.
One of the significant advantages of Holiday Lets / Air bnb properties is their potential for high rental yields. Popular tourist destinations in the UK often experience strong demand for short-stay accommodation, allowing investors to charge premium rates during peak seasons and generate substantial rental income.
Unlike standard buy-to-let properties, Holiday Lets / Air bnb properties provide owners with the flexibility to use the property for personal vacations. This means you can enjoy your investment and experience the benefits of having a holiday home while also generating rental income when you’re not using it.
Holiday let properties in the UK enjoy certain tax advantages compared to traditional buy-to-let investments. For instance, owners of furnished holiday let properties can benefit from capital allowances on furnishings and equipment, as well as eligibility for Business Property Relief (BPR) for inheritance tax purposes.
Investing in a holiday let property located in a desirable location can offer the potential for long-term capital appreciation. Areas with strong tourism and limited supply often experience property value growth, providing an additional benefit to investors.
Choosing the right location is paramount for a successful holiday let investment. Consider areas with strong tourist demand, appealing attractions, good transport links, and a thriving local economy. Conduct thorough research and analyse historical occupancy rates and rental demand before committing to a specific location.
Experienced holiday let mortgage providers understand the nuances of this market and can offer tailored mortgage solutions to meet your needs.
Mortgage lenders will typically assess the potential rental income of the property to determine the affordability of the mortgage. They may require supporting documentation, such as historical rental income statements or an assessment from a holiday let management company, to validate the income projections.
Managing a holiday let property can be time-consuming, especially if you live far from the property or have multiple investments. Consider engaging the services of a reputable holiday let management company to handle bookings, guest communications, housekeeping, and property maintenance. This can help streamline operations and maximise rental income potential.
We have a client who renovated a property and split it into two Air BnB flats. We were able to find a lender who would consider the low, medium and high season rent rather than the AST value. This meant the client was able to secure a larger mortgage for his property.

Myself and wife Victoria have worked with Nichola since inception of our property business, five years ago. Whilst the suggested practice is to use multiple finance brokers, we have solely used Nichola and will do so going forward. Whilst we are no doubt one of many of her clients, she always remembers our property strategy and go forward plan upon calling or emailing her. Nichola's knowledge of the mortgage market is clearly very broad. Our latest project was a mixed-use commercial unit whereby she clearly explained to us the remortgage process when splitting the freehold title. Her patience and clarity were appreciated, as this was our biggest project to date, we really felt supported and confident throughout. Highly recommended.
Have used Nicki for 3/4 years now and she is always really helpful. From placing finance to being willing to answer general questions about the mortgage market I know that I can reach out at any point. I’ve used her for both investment property finance and also the sourcing of a mortgage for my own home. I recommend regularly.
I have used Nicki for 4 years now and she has provided me 5 Buy to Let mortgages, 1 bridging loan & 2 personal mortgages. Some of these have been very complicated purchases. I have previously been let down by other mortgage brokers promising the world and failing to deliver. Nicki's knowledge is immense, she delivers what she promises and never stops trying to find you a better mortgage even after she has already got you DIP.
