ASK228: How do mortgage holidays actually work? PLUS: Should I reduce my rent?

It’s Tuesday which means it’s another episode of Ask Rob & Rob, and they’re changing things up today. 

Coronavirus has naturally ramped up the number of questions we’ve been getting through. So Rob & Rob have decided to combine some of the popular ones. 

The main question we’ve been asked is around buy-to-let mortgage holidays. There appears to be a fair bit of confusion about how these work. 

Rob & Rob have addressed the situation to give property investors a better understanding. Here’s what you can expect them to answer:

1. Can I get multiple mortgage holidays? I have properties with several different lenders, will they all honour it?
   
   
2. I’ve got a property that's currently empty between tenants, can I get a mortgage holiday on it?
   
   
3. If I take a mortgage holiday do I have to defer the rent to my tenant? 

 

As the demand for letting property right now is likely to drop, should landlords be taking a reduction in rent? 

 

Well…tune in and you’ll find that one out! 

 

With all the negative news going on right now, the Rob’s are always here to answer your questions and keep you updated on the property market. 

 

So sit back, relax and have a nice cuppa while The Robs keep you updated on the most asked questions.
