What is Loan to Value (LTV)?
The Loan to Value ratio is the percentage of the property’s value that you borrow through a mortgage. It is an important factor for lenders as higher LTVs represent higher risk, often resulting in higher interest rates or the requirement for mortgage insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does a high LTV ratio mean? A high LTV ratio means you’re borrowing a large percentage of the property’s value, which may result in higher monthly payments or mortgage insurance requirements.
What is considered a good LTV? Typically, a lower LTV (e.g., below 80%) is considered ideal as it demonstrates lower risk to lenders.
Can I get a mortgage with a high LTV? Yes, but you may face higher interest rates or additional costs such as private mortgage insurance (PMI).
