High LTV Mortgages, such as the 90% mortgages discussed here enable first-time buyers with a low deposit to put down just 10% of the property value as the deposit. There are quite a number of 90% mortgage deals now available, each with potentially different mortgage lending criteria, interest rates, lending charges and conditions. It can be quite a chore to search through the lenders deals yourself, and as comparison websites don’t always have access to the lenders best deals, so it is always a good idea to speak to a knowledgeable mortgage broker – such as Ascot Mortgages to make sure you are getting the best mortgage available.
Lending criteria for 90% LTV Mortgages
90% Mortgages do usually come with stricter lending criteria which can vary between lenders – but fortunately as the mortgage market is beginning to ease this lending criteria is gradually relaxing. However, a good credit score is generally essential with all lenders.

FAQ
A 60% LTV mortgage means you’re borrowing only 60% of the property’s value, with the remaining 40% covered by your deposit or equity. Key benefits include:
– Lower Interest Rates: Since lenders perceive a lower risk with a higher deposit, they often offer more competitive interest rates for 60% LTV mortgages.
– Greater Chance of Approval: A larger deposit often means a better likelihood of mortgage approval as it demonstrates financial stability and commitment.
– Smaller Monthly Repayments: With a lower loan amount and potentially reduced interest rates, monthly repayments might be more manageable.
Yes, it is possible to secure a 60% LTV mortgage for a second home or investment property. However, the criteria might be slightly different compared to a primary residence, and interest rates might be higher. Lenders will consider the potential rental income (for buy-to-let properties) and any other associated costs when assessing eligibility.
As with most mortgages, there can be various fees associated with a 60% LTV mortgage. These might include:
– Arrangement Fees: Charged by the lender for the mortgage product selected.
– Valuation Fees: For assessing the property’s value.
– Early Repayment Charges: If you repay the mortgage ahead of the agreed product term.
– Legal Fees: For conveyancing processes.
It’s important to discuss with your lender or mortgage advisor to get a full breakdown of all potential fees.
If you’re struggling to meet the repayments on a 60% LTV mortgage, it’s crucial to contact your lender as soon as possible. They might be able to offer solutions such as a payment holiday, changing the repayment terms, or other adjustments. If repayments are continually missed without any agreement, the lender has the right to start the repossession process. However, lenders generally view repossession as a last resort and will typically work with borrowers to find alternative solutions.
