95% mortgages
Am I eligible to apply for a 95% mortgage?
This mortgage is available to first time buyers or home movers. Along with the normal mortgage checks, to be eligible, the mortgage must be:
- for a property valued no more than £600,000
- on a property not classed as a new build property
- a loan-to-value (LTV) of between 91% and 95%
- a deposit between 5-9%
- a residential mortgage (i.e. not a buy-to-let property)
- a repayment mortgage and not an interest-only mortgage.
What is a 95% mortgage?
- A 95% mortgage, also known as a 95% loan-to-value (LTV) mortgage, is a mortgage to purchase a property with a small deposit (at least 5% but less than 10% deposit of the purchase price).
- Your deposit is the amount of money that you need to put into the mortgage to make up 100% of the final purchase price.
