Barclays SO 15% LTV

Good afternoon all, I have applied for a shared ownership mortgage with Barclays with 15% LTV. How likely is that they will do a desktop evaluation? Thanks :)

  • is it 15% ltv on your share?  or 15% on the whole value?  Is it a new build?

    It’s 15% LTV of the share I’m buying (30% of £482,500 which is £144,750, and I’m putting down £21,715 towards the deposit). It’s a new build indeed.
  • So it's not 15% ltv.  It's 85% ltv (15% deposit)

    If it was 15% it definitely would have been desktop. Otherwise barclays don't have any real rules on it.  I've had 95% done desktop from them prior to lockdown, and plenty low ltv physicals.  The broker application system should tell if it's a desktop or physical valuation.  Ours says 'physical valuation required' on one of the tabs.

    Oh my bad hah. Thank you very much for your kind help! I have applied with them directly so I’ll ask my case manager.
    have a good week end :)
  • Direct use the old system that we used to use.  Horrible system but still had the same info. Shouldn't take more than a minute for the info to be given
