Mortgage for more than 90% but less than 95% LTV

Options
I am considering getting a Yorkshire Building Society 95% mortgage. However, for the deposit, I am going to use funds from my LISA account, which amount to a bit more than 5% of the purchase (more like 7.5%). I do want to use all the LISA funds and not leave some in there. Is it possible to have a deposit that's not the exact % set out by the bank but a but more?

  • 90.01 to 95% is a 95% mortgage for interest rate purposes

    85.01 to 90.00 is a 90% mortgage for interest rate purposes
