A Derby bridge against Derby rents
The median purchase price in Derby deal analyses on Lendlord is £167,500. Bridged at 69% for a year at 1.09% a month, roughly £130,500 is owed when you refinance.
Recorded Derby lets bring in a median £850 a month. A lender testing at 145% cover on 5.5% would lend about £128,000 on that, which falls short of the balance by a small margin. The house needs around £870 a month.
On value, you need about £174,500 after works for a 75% mortgage to repay the bridge.

Exiting a Derby bridge
The rent test is close in Derby, so a small change in rent or deposit moves it.
- Check the street rent. Use recorded lets on the street, not the town median.
- Plan the deposit. A slightly lower remortgage loan passes the rent test.
- Mind the inner ring road. An HMO plan inside it needs planning permission first.
- Keep sale open. 2 of the 4 Derby files sold.
Derby bridging questions
Who funds bridges in Derby?
Lendlord funded 4 Derby bridges among the 272 disclosed deals, all repaid, with loans from £55,000 to £125,000.
Can I convert a Derby house to an HMO with a bridge?
Inside the inner ring road and in Arboretum ward you need planning permission first, since 3 May 2025. Outside it, small HMOs can still use permitted development.
How fast did your Derby bridges fund?
Between 32 and 44 days. Four deals is too few for a median.
Does Derby need a coal search?
Derby has no coal resources, but run the GOV.UK coal mining check by postcode to be sure.
