Understand your budget with a Decision in Principle

A decision in principle is also called an “agreement” or “mortgage” in principle. They all refer to the same thing which is an initial yes from a mortgage lender. This is here to give you an idea of what you can expect to borrow and understand your budget. This is the best place to start.
 
A decision in principle will also allow you to see what mortgage rates you are eligible for. This helps you can understand your potential mortgage monthly repayments. This will help you understand your finances for any home you buy.
 
Many estate agents will ask to see a decision in principle if you would like to place an offer on a property. This acts as a way of showing the agent you can likely afford to purchase the property and that you are a serious buyer. Remember, you can use any mortgage advisor you like, even if they suggest otherwise.

Can I get a mortgage on a holiday cottage?

Yes – you may be able to. There are lenders who can help you mortgage a holiday let cottage. Some can also allow you to use the property periods of time, typically 90 days a year for personal use. This means you can enjoy your investment in the gaps between guests too.

Holiday let mortgages can be assessed differently to others. The potential rental income of the property will need to be assessed. You may need a holiday letting agent to provide a valuation. This consists of high, mid, and low-season rental income figures. This is a common request from Holiday let mortgage lenders

This will depend on several things  such as:

  • Your credit history
  • Your income 
  • The property you are looking at buying 

We’re here to help you understand exactly how much deposit you can expect to need. Typically you can expect to need around 25% deposit as a minimum for most lenders , with some allowing 20%. Your actual deposit needed will also depend on the potential rental income of the property and how this varies seasonally.
