If you're looking for the lowest interest rate deals, you'll be more attractive to a lender if you can put down a bigger deposit!
Loan to value can make a difference, and a bigger deposit typically opens up a wider pool of lenders as you are seen as a lesser risk.
Let's look at it through this example - if you have Β£100k to put down on a Β£400k property, not only will you have substantial equity as security, you'll need to borrow less overall compared with a borrower seeking a 95% mortgage on the same property.
The key part here is that this reassures lenders, and assuming the rest of your profile is positive, this greater sureity will be reflected in the rates available to you ππ½
