What Does Loan To Value Mean?

Your loan to value, also more commonly known as your LTV is basically all about how much mortgage you have outstanding, or deposit you have ready in relation to what your property is worth. to give you a better idea of what we are referring to. If you have already inputted some numbers into the LTV calculator you will have found out that loan to value is normally calculated out of a hundred, i.e. percentage. In the case of a remortgage this figure represents the percentage of the property that is mortgaged after the replacement mortgage has been taken out. The amount of percentage that is left over is the equity that you own in the property. If you are looking for a first time buyer mortgage, the percentage that the loan to value calculator would output for you is at what LTV you need to borrow from a mortgage lender to purchase a property. The loan to value is important to both you and the lender as it tells the lenders how much of the house or flat they have a charge over, and it tells our customers how much equity they have. If you would like one of our advisers to calculate your LTV for you, give us a call on the above number, you will also be able to see what mortgages and rates are available to you at that level of LTV.

How Do I Work Out My LTV?

In this day and age we have calculators that can do all of our difficult sums for us. Our loan to value calculator can be found on the calculators tab at the top of the page along with some other calculators. They can be useful in saving time and money and it is always a good idea to be proactive and use them. Still sometimes it helps to have an idea of what mathematics those calculators are doing so you know how the answer is achieved and you can gain a better understanding of the numbers that pop out at the end.

The formula for calculating your existing loan to value is as follows:

• LTV = ( current mortgage balance owed / property value at this time ) x 100 = Your Loan to Value

That is the fancy equation, quite straightforward but what does it actually mean? All it illustrates is that you divide the mortgage balance or total of your mortgage and secured loan in the case of taking out a second charge by your property value. Then to get a percentage figure you simply times by 100. You may just want to know what your current LTV is right now, before you take any new finance out or you may be interested in seeing what your LTV would be after you raise some money for home improvements or take out a debt consolidation mortgage. Therefore Loan to Values are always either existing or proposed and in many instances most of us will try different proposed LTV`s to get the right balance of best rate or product versus raising the most money.

Some LTV Examples

Here are a few examples to give you a clearer idea of what loan to value calculations are:

What Does My Loan To Value Mean For My Mortgage or Remortgage?

Once you have used our loan to value calculator and have established your exact LTV percentage this number becomes an integral factor when you are looking to refinance. Whether you are looking for a remortgage, a purchase mortgage, you want to take out an any purpose loan via a second charge or you just want to release some equity from your property to either improve it or refinance your credit through a refinance remortgage, your loan to value is an essential consideration for both you and the lender looking to lend you the money.

This is because the higher your LTV you are borrowing more money against your security and they have less security as a result. This greater risk is reflected in the higher rates you may face if you have a higher loan to value. That being said there are plenty of lending plans that we have access to which creates competition for your business which then helps drive the rates back down again. So even if you have a high ltv, you may be surprised at just how good the mortgage rates could be. The best products available on the market are generally dedicated to those with low loan to value`s but that doesn`t mean that with the help of First Choice you cannot secure great deals for 90% purchase mortgages or even 95% first time buyer mortgages (95% mortgage using the new home schemes).
