What is a Loan to Value ratio?

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is a way of measuring how much money you’re borrowing, compared to the total value of your property, and this ratio is commonly expressed as a percentage.

Why does your LTV ratio matter?

In general, lenders reserve their best deals for people with lower LTVs as they are borrowing smaller amounts when compared to those with a high LTV. There’s no minimum LTV, though a lower number is always better. But even if you can’t put together a big deposit, help is still available. There are also several 95% LTV mortgage deals available, which means that your deposit only needs to be 5% of the value of your new home.
