There are many things to keep in mind when looking to find holiday home loan finance.
And it goes beyond just thinking about what is the best interest rate I can find. It is always helpful to have a plan which takes into account fundamental issues as well as specific detail for consideration.
By having a plan you will be able to make decisions in a structured way, thereby maximizing your return and hopefully minimizing any potential mistakes. Some people get caught up with the idea of owning a holiday home having just experiencing a great holiday and wanting to buy into the lifestyle.
So key financial factors to consider are, yes, what is the best interest rate, but don’t forget to factor in the following. How long will the finance run for, ie what is the term and does it suit your circumstances, now and with the future in mind. How much can you borrow, can you pay off lumps without penalty, is there an early repayment charge? Can you move your finance at any time or are there restrictions?
What type of facility is best for you? A secured home owner loan, a fixed rate, discount rate or tracker rate mortgage? Capital repayment or interest only?
Think carefully about what you are looking to achieve, as this is a major investment you are considering, don’t just buy because you enjoyed some thing yourself. Of course if you are not intending to have other people use the property then you can more please yourself. However, if you are looking to let it out, make sure you have an understanding of the following.
How many weeks can you realistically let it out for, how long is the real season in the area you are looking at. Will the holiday home appeal to a majority of people or does it have special features that will appeal. Is it in the best location, some areas do better than others even if they seem to look alike. Research and talk to locals. What is the crime rate? What negative facilities are close by, don’t just get carried away with the good ones.
Are there any specialist activities to market to, skiing, golf and the like.
What about infrastructure? To get the best out of any investment property loan you need to have figured out how easy it is for people to get there. Research the Flight availability as it is today and what the plans are for the future, whilst you don’t want to be under an airport, the further you are away, the less likely people will want to endure the connection. Similarly, what about the major road infrastructure? Railway stations and connections, ferry terminals that may be and vantage if close by.
Seek out experienced advisors, it will save potential issues catching you out later down the line. If you can, use people that come by recommendation for similar projects or services. When you are clear about what you want out of all this, it will then be time to search for your holiday home loan finance. Who knows you may even get to start off your own property investment portfolio.
