✨ Let’s start our week with some mortgage knowledge! ✨
What does the term ‘loan to value’ mean with regards to your mortgage?
There’s a lot of often confusing sounding mortgage terminology out there, and we often get asked to translate what it means!
In this case, the loan to value – or LTV – is the size of the mortgage compared to how much your property is worth and is usually expressed as a percentage figure. The lower the LTV, the lower the mortgage interest rate tends to be. For example, if a mortgage is offered at 90% LTV, you’ll need to find a deposit of 10%. If a mortgage is offered at 75% LTV, you’ll need to find a bigger deposit of 25% – but rates will typically be lower. 🧞♂️
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
