In its favour

  • Sold vacant

What a lender will look at

  • Check Outside London and the Home Counties (Isle of Wight): fewer lenders, and values need strong local evidence
  • Check No station within a 20-minute walk (nearest: Lymington Pier, 7.9 km)

If you let it

Typical rent about £1,092 a month, a gross yield of 9.1% on the expected hammer. The rent supports a 75% buy-to-let mortgage (up to about £191,000), so refinancing out of a bridge works on these figures.

ONS average for a 3-bed home in Isle of Wight, Sept 2026. Refinance test: rent covers the interest 125% at a 5.5% stress rate, as lenders test a limited company; personal borrowers are often tested harder.
