From 13 October 2026, Lendlord bridging goes up to 80% LTV. A below-market buy can still reach 90% of the purchase price.
The L postcode pattern
Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley share the L postcode area. Together they hold 16 deals in the 272 disclosed deals, enough for medians.
The median L-postcode bridge was £60,000 at 1.10% a month and 75% gross LTV, funded in a median 40 days. 75% started at auction. These figures cover the postcode area, not Liverpool city on its own.

Why the Liverpool exit usually works
A purchase at £120,000, the median landlords on Lendlord model for Liverpool, bridged at 72% is about £86,500. A year at 1.08% a month, interest rolled up, leaves roughly £97,500 to repay.
Recorded Liverpool lets bring in a median £800 a month. Under a 145% cover test at 5.5%, that supports about £120,500 of buy-to-let lending, so the rent clears the balance. The home only needs about £650 a month.
The tighter side is value: about £130,000 after works for a 75% mortgage to repay the bridge.

Refinancing a Liverpool bridge
Rent is rarely the problem here. The valuation is.
- Get comparables early. Ask the valuer for recent street sales before the works finish.
- Keep the works to what lifts value. Kitchens and bathrooms move a terrace valuation most.
- Apply for the mortgage during works. Almost every file in the area refinanced, so lenders know the stock.
- Keep sale as a fallback. 1 Liverpool file sold instead.
