Where to get a 90% mortgage from>?

Hi,

We are putting the house on the market in the next few months, but before we make that step i need to make sure we are able to get a mortgage that will fill our requirements.

Our current mortgage runs out in November and they are now only offering 75%ltv. As we want to move, we dont want to renew the mortgage with them so i need to find a new company.

Does anyone know where to got a 90%ltv mortgage from? Ive had a look around but they are all saying need to be an existing customer blah blah.....

thanks

  • 90% mortgages are increasingly difficult to get hold of at the moment, and your chances would be far better if you could get down to 85%, which I know if probably not possible.

    However, don't forget you don't need to renew your current mortgage - check your paperwork to see what rate it will go down to. You may find you drop to an SVR or a tracker rate below what you're currently paying and at least while you're thinking about moving this might be the best bet.

    Saffron building society offer 90% in the Herts / Cambs / Essex area. Rate is 5.65%. Must be squeaky clean and a perfect model borrower - at least 1 year in job, and usualy 3.5X sole income unless you earn above £40000 basic salary.

    Other than that the rates tend to be 6.5% - 7.8%, unless you can find a direct only deal with Clydesdale or someone. Again at 90% you will have to be the perfect model borrower and not looking for an income stretch.

    Yeah, i'd check what your current lenders LTV is cos you might find your monthly payments come down, if you're just coming off a fixed rate.

    You will be looking at approx 7% interest on a 90% deal. Halifax are doing them, but they are expensive.
