Bridging Loans in
Plymouth

Plymouth is the largest city on the south coast of England west of Southampton. A naval base, a large university and a waterfront that has spent years reinventing itself give it more kinds of deal than its size suggests, and its catchment runs across South Devon and into east Cornwall.

Student and professional HMOs

The University of Plymouth has more than 20,000 students, and most of the rental demand sits in Mutley, Greenbank, North Hill and Mannamead. Article 4 directions cap new HMO conversions in parts of the city, so a licensed house already trading is worth more here than an unconverted one next door.

The numbers are what bring investors in. A 3 or 4-bed terrace suitable for HMO use typically costs £180k–£280k, and per-room rents often produce gross yields well above 7%.

Dockyard, Hoe and harbour

HM Naval Base Devonport, one of the largest naval bases in Western Europe, anchors the dockyard supply chain and the industrial property that serves it. On the waterfront, Sutton Harbour, the Hoe and Royal William Yard have produced a steady run of office, retail and mixed-use repositioning.

Beyond the city

Tavistock, Totnes and Ivybridge in South Devon, Saltash and Liskeard in east Cornwall and the villages of the South Hams are markets of their own, and we place each deal with a lender that already knows that kind of stock.
