And, in particular with overseas holiday property mortgages, the terms and conditions of the mortgage as well as the actual availability can differ greatly. So how do you get a holiday property mortgage? While most of the major UK lenders and banks will offer holiday property mortgages for both the UK and abroad, there are specialist providers too and it is well worth investigating the marketplace before blindly going with the first company that offers a mortgage for a holiday home.
