65% mortgages
Find out what a 65% LTV mortgage (35% deposit) is and how to get the best deal
What is a 65% LTV mortgage?
Loan to value (LTV) is the ratio between the loan you take out and the value of the property.
A 65% LTV mortgage lets you borrow 65% of the price of the property.
You’ll pay the other 35% as a deposit before you start paying your mortgage.
If you’re remortgaging onto a 65% LTV mortgage, the 35% could be the equity in your home if:
it’s gone up in value
you’ve repaid enough of your current mortgage
The higher the LTV, the more you’ll pay in interest. This is because the risk to the lender increases when you borrow more.
