It's that time again... is back!
Don't complain, you know you love them 😆😎
This week's word is (technically a phrase I know!) LTV or Loan to Value.
📣INPUT ALERT📣 - This one does require a BIT of Maths - I know, swearing on a Monday morning...🫣 but it really is only a bit!
Loan to Value literally means how much of the property YOU would be paying for vs the amount you put down as deposit.
👩🔬THE MATHS👨🔬
The property you've decided to buy is on the market at £200,000.
💶YOU have a 10% deposit burning a hole in your bank account - £20,000
🏦YOUR LENDER agrees to cover the other 90% with your mortgage - £180,000
That means the Loan to Value (or LTV) is 90%
A 90% Mortgage VS your 10% deposit
Still with me? 🤓😁
