second home
With many home owners enjoying significant increases in property wealth buying a second home for holidays, use as a pied a terre or retirement has become increasingly popular.
You could have the choice of funding the purchase of your second home with a new mortgage, or by increasing the mortgage on your existing home. If your second home is in the UK, you’ll probably need take out a separate mortgage on the new property.
If your second home is overseas, you could also mortgage the property locally. At the moment if you are buying property in the Euro zone you could make savings because borrowing in Euros currently attracts a lower rate of interest than Sterling.
