 yeah, this was an actual mortgage offer though with hard credit checks done and had been to the underwriters, the sale was close to exchange. I've asked on the other thread too but it seems I may still be able to get 94% LTV.AdrianC said:
 Probably. Effectively, you're talking about acceptance in principal (AIP) - the lender are happy to lend YOU the money, but they just need to turn it into a full acceptance when you can show them the property, so they know it's good security for their money.purple_ck said:would this be the same if I had a mortgage offer for LTV 94% and no longer going for that property ? would I still be able to get the 94% LTV on another one (that we would be staying in long term) still saving each month too
 thanks0

 But that actual offer would be tied to the value of that particular property as security - remember, your sol acts as the lender's sol, too, and they're the ones insisting on valuations. Change property, you go back a step and need to redo all of that to satisfy them of the new property.purple_ck said:

            You need to be lowering your offer to account for the new mortgage conditions.0

 yeah I understand that, I'm happy to do that (we have home reports) I think my question didn't come out as clear as I thought. I think I will contact the lender to find out, basically just wanted to see if we could still keep the 94% LTV if we had everything the same just a different address, values the same for deposit, value of property the same etc.AdrianC said:

 I presume they mean how can you know the value (not the price) of the new property will be the same?purple_ck said:

            You'd be better off speaking with a broker, but there is not a lot about at 95% There are about 4 I saw on MoneySupermarket but when you click through they are either for SharedOwnership, Family Guarantee Mortgages or Existing Customers only.0

 yeah I think I will just ask the lender, they will be able to advise on whether they will still honour the deal. If not I can just wait till October when I will have enough for 10% deposit rather than 6.bucksbloke said:You'd be better off speaking with a broker, but there is not a lot about at 95% There are about 4 I saw on MoneySupermarket but when you click through they are either for SharedOwnership, Family Guarantee Mortgages or Existing Customers only.0
