Holiday Let Mortgages in Cornwall
Cornwall remains one of the UK’s strongest holiday-let markets, with high demand in areas such as Newquay, Falmouth, Fowey and the Lizard Peninsula. Holiday let mortgages typically require:
- higher deposits
- evidence of projected rental income
- seasonal occupancy expectations
- short-term letting compliance
We guide you through how lenders assess holiday-let income and compare suitable options. For longer-term rental investments, see our Buy-to-Let Mortgage page.
Self-Employed, Contractor & Freelance Mortgages
Cornwall has a large number of self-employed professionals, seasonal earners and contractors. If you are self-employed, we can help you understand how lenders assess income, what documents you’ll need and which lenders may be more flexible. We also support self-employed clients who are based elsewhere in the UK but wish to buy or remortgage in Cornwall.
