daft question LTV

Posts: 482 Forumite
I have read alot here and on various bank/BS sites about LTV and many people seem to quote figures like 90% LTV or 85% LTV 75% LTV and 60% LTV.
Now I understand that the bigger your deposit the lower your LTV, the lower your LTV the better the rates you get and the more chance you have of being accepted for a mortgage. In order to understand how the rate applies to yourself, you simply work out the % deposit you are paying and look on the mortgage website for the rate that goes along with that.
What happens if you have a 38% deposit, 62% LTV - how do the rates apply? (does that make sense?) would lenders be generous and apply the 60% LTV rates since it is very close to that or is there some kind of sliding scale? (if there is I havent found one) or would the next highest rate apply?
Would be grateful if anyone knows.
Many thanks in anticipation of you taking time to answer my daft question.

If you have got a 38% Deposit then you would not have 60% LTV................................I have put my clock back....... Kcolc ym0

yes, I got that part, 38 + 60 = 98, I didnt explain very well did I, all the information I have read about interest rates say things like
4.5% interest for a 60% LTV or 5.7% for an 85% LTV (these figures are only an example),
however if I have a 38% deposit, meaning my LTV will be 62%, what interest rates do you think they will quote me? the ones that they give for 60% (since 62% is close) or the 'next rate up 75%' or is there a sliding scale for those people who fit somewhere in between?
Hope that explains the question a little more clearly - if it doesnt, feel free to /e slap me:rotfl:0 -
No - if they say an LTV of 60% they mean up to 60% so you wouldn't qualify. You'd be looking at the up to 75% rates.0

You don't know the lenders very well. It it came in at 59% they would be trying to downvalue the property to get the LTV above 60%:rolleyes:I am a Mortgage adviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
