Mortgage Help

Options
Hi,

My partner and I are currently looking to purchase a house. I have spoken to a mortgage adviser today and he has given us an idea of what we would be able to lend and how much it would cost for the property we are looking at.The mortgages he gave us were for a house valued at £80,000 with a 95 % ( £76,000) mortgage.

What I forgot to mention was the house is valued at £85,000 but the sellers lowered it to £80,000, to try and sell it quicker. so my question is does this change the LTV of the mortgage. or would it stay at 95% ?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Dave

    The LTV will be based on what the eventual sale price (or mortgage valuation after survey if lower)

    As above, the LTV is based on the lower of the valuation or purchase price.
