What is a high LTV mortgage?
LTV stands for loan to value. This is the percentage of the property's value that you need to borrow. For example if you are purchasing a property for £150,000 but you have a £15,000 deposit, you would require a mortgage at 90% LTV.
If you have limited money available for a deposit you may be able to obtain a high LTV mortgage from a lender.
In the current economic climate, usually anything over 80% is classed a high LTV mortgage, however many lenders will be able to offer you mortgages of 90 or 95%.
If you are able to provide a higher value deposit and lower the LTV, you are likely to be able to get more competitive interest rates. This is because lenders consider high LTV mortgages to be more of risk.
