Financing for Guest Houses

Mortgage options for experienced guest house operators

Many lenders are keen to invest in guest houses, especially those owned and run by experienced operators. Seen to be a secure investment with excellent residual residential value, the loan to value ratio in this sector can be as high as 70%.

To be seen as an experienced guest house operator by prospective lenders, you must have either owned and run your own guest house for a minimum of two to three years, or have done so previously. Unfortunately, simply having worked in the guest house sector isn’t enough; while lenders will take note of relevant work experience, only previous hands-on guest house ownership and management will mark you as a risk low enough for the most competitive rates.

At Stewart Hindley, we can help experienced guest house operators access those rates by exploring the entire hospitality finance market and helping them build the strongest possible debt application.

What are the factors that affect guest house lending?

The main features of a guest house mortgage are a 15-20 year mortgage term, seasonal payments and a 60-70% loan to property value ratio.

To secure guest house finance, you need to submit a detailed application form, plus the associated supporting documents, which we can ensure cover all the bases a lender will look for.

Guest house lenders will want to see:

  • A deposit of 30% or more
  • Proof of trade or other relevant experience
  • Good personal credit history
  • Three years’ vendors trading accounts
