You might have seen the term LTV (loan to value) and wondered what it actually means.
It's simply the percentage of the property value you're borrowing. So if you're buying a £200,000 home with a £20,000 deposit, you're borrowing 90%, and your LTV is 90%.
Why does it matter? Because the lower your LTV, the better mortgage rates you can access. Lenders see a bigger deposit as lower risk, so they reward it with better deals.
It's one of the reasons saving a little more before you buy can make a real difference to your monthly payments.
