The lender will consider properties to be let as Airbnbs, holiday lets or serviced apartments, providing the valuer confirms that: 

• the security property is suitable for occupation under an assured shorthold tenancy (AST)
• the ICR calculation fits on the market rent based on an AST
• there is demand for the property from both owner occupier and investor buyers

Ross Turrell, commercial director at CHL Mortgages, said: “As a specialist BTL lender, we adapt to shifts in landlord demand and integrate broker feedback to help shape our proposition, and we will continue to evolve in line with these important influencing factors.”

“When entering any new product area, it’s vital to do so from a solid lending platform — Q1 has proved an exceptional start to the year for us and we feel that adding a highly competitive range of short-term let products will deliver further options and opportunities for our intermediary partners to better service the ever-changing needs of landlord clients, who are looking to diversify portfolios and maximise yields.”

“Short-term letting is an area which will continue to grow in prominence as the demand for staycations increases, and this is certainly a sector which intermediaries should be closely monitoring going forward.”

The launch of the short-term let proposition follows the introduction of a new product range for large HMOs and MUFBs, designed to cater for properties with seven to 10 bedroom/units.
