What is a Payment Holiday? Mortgage Payment Holidays explained!
So what is a mortgage payment holiday? Well, the clue is in the name really! Quite literally, a Payment Holiday is a feature of some mortgages that allows for a short break from your regular monthly contractual mortgage repayments.
Mortgage Payment Holidays are generally the feature of certain types of mortgage, notably the Flexible Mortgage plans nowadays offered by many lenders.
The Payment Holiday feature can be a particularly useful aspect of a mortgage, especially for instance, where you may have major items of expenditure to deal with - such as an upcoming Wedding, or the arrival of a little one!
The precise scheme arrangements for Payment Holidays will vary from lender to lender, although usually you can stop making mortgage payments for a limited period up to your agreed borrowing limit as set out in the mortgage contract.
However, you should be aware that interest charges will continue to be applied to your account during the Payment Holiday period, although the missed payments will not invoke fines or penalties.
