95% loan-to-value mortgages
Today, more and more lenders are offering 95% loan-to-value mortgages on new homes. Even those outside the Deposit Unlock scheme.
Put simply, a 95% mortgage allows you to borrow up to 95% of the value of the property you want to purchase, which is really helpful if you are buying your first home and you don’t have a big deposit.
‘Loan-to-value' is the percentage of the property's value that's being covered by the mortgage. For example, if you were buying a property costing £150,000 and putting in a deposit of £7,500, your loan-to-value would be 95% and your deposit would be 5%.
