If you let it
Typical rent about £840 a month, a gross yield of 15.9% on the expected hammer. The rent supports a 75% buy-to-let mortgage (up to about £147,000), so refinancing out of a bridge works on these figures. A yield this high usually means a reason for the low guide (the lease, a tenancy, the building or its condition): read the legal pack before you rely on it.
ONS average for a 2-bed home in Liverpool, 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.
