Holiday Cottage Handbook and HD Consultants created a platform dedicated to providing holiday let mortgages.
HCH Financial Services is offering access to holiday let mortgage products, in addition to providing all types of life insurance, will writing, and other services.
Meanwhile Holiday Cottage Handbook will use the platform to share free education with short-term rental hosts, property managers, and industry professionals.
The platform has already established an audience via its weekly podcast – HCH Mortgage Podcast – and newsletter since launching in September 2023.
James Varley, founder, Holiday Cottage Handbook, said: “We are delighted to launch HCH Financial Services in partnership with HD Consultants. Over the last three decades, Howard Reuben and his team have developed an award-winning service that is renowned for delivering outstanding value for its clients.
“This new partnership will specifically cater for holiday let investors – a sector of the market we are dedicated to supporting with valuable free education, including tips, trends, and best practices. We are certain our growing audience will find exceptional value in working with HCH Financial Services.”
The holiday let sector has grown significantly in recent years, helped by the pandemic-induced staycation boom. Meanwhile the burdensome tax environment for long-term rentals has led more landlords to use platforms like Airbnb.
Howard Reuben, owner, HD Consultants, said: “Combining James’s expertise and experience as a property investor in the holiday let sector, and his outstanding knowledge and skills in the world of publishing and media, together with the sector specific knowledge that my team of qualified, trained, and professional mortgage and insurance advisers provide, we are excited to unveil HCH Financial Services.
“This alliance is founded on a common objective to help, support, guide, and plan a holiday let property and finance strategy for our clients. We’ve been a company of advisers for more than 30 years and we prioritise long-term relationships, starting with arranging finance and continuing with regular reviews and advice.”
