Who Is Eligible for a 70%, 80%, 90% LTV Mortgage?
Eligibility for a 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV mortgage depends on several factors, including:
- Your credit history
- Your income stability
- Your employment status
- Your overall financial situation.
Lenders typically assess these factors to determine if you can afford the mortgage repayments and if you meet their lending criteria. It’s advisable to consult with lenders or mortgage advisors to understand specific eligibility requirements.
What Deposit Do You Need to Save For 70%, 80%, 90% LTV Mortgages?
A 70% LTV mortgage means that the loan amount is 70% of the property’s value. For example, if a property is valued at £300,000, a 70% LTV mortgage would cover £210,000. Borrowers are required to provide a 30% deposit for this type of mortgage, which is a deposit of £90,000.
Similarly, if you were to take out an 80% LTV mortgage on the same property (which costs £300,000) you would need to save a deposit of £60,000. For a 90% LTV mortgage of the same house, you would need a mortgage of £30,000.
Why Should I Consider Using a Mortgage Broker For My 70%, 80%, 90% Mortgage?

Is a 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV Mortgage Considered Low LTV?
In mortgage terminology, 70%, 80%, and 90% LTV mortgages are generally considered as high LTV (loan-to-value) mortgages. Low LTV mortgages typically refer to those with ratios below 60% or 50%. Higher LTV mortgages involve borrowing a larger percentage of the property’s value, which often comes with higher interest rates and potentially stricter lending criteria.

Mortgage rates for 70%, 80%, 90% LTV mortgages can vary depending on multiple factors, including:
- Market conditions

- Your financial profile.
Generally, higher LTV mortgages tend to have higher interest rates compared to lower LTV mortgages. This is why it makes sense to shop around, compare offers from different lenders, and consider seeking professional advice to determine the current rates available for your specific circumstances.

What Are the Types of 70%, 80%, 90% LTV Mortgages?
There are various types of mortgages available within the 70%, 80%, and 90% LTV categories. Some common types include:
- Fixed-rate mortgages, where the interest rate remains constant for a specified period
- Variable-rate mortgages, where the interest rate can fluctuate
- Tracker mortgages, which follow an interest rate index; and offset mortgages, where savings are offset against the mortgage balance to reduce interest charges.
What Are the Repayment Options for 70%, 80%, 90% LTV Mortgages?
Repayment options for 70%, 80%, 90% LTV mortgages typically include two main types: repayment mortgages (capital and interest) and interest-only mortgages.
- Repayment Mortgages: With a repayment mortgage, you make monthly payments that consist of both the interest charged and a portion of the principal (the original loan amount). Over time, your outstanding balance decreases until the mortgage is fully repaid at the end of the term.
- Interest-Only Mortgages: With an interest-only mortgage, your monthly payments cover only the interest charges, and the principal remains unchanged. This means you need a separate plan or investment vehicle to repay the principal at the end of the mortgage term.
Are There Any Restrictions on the Type of Property I Can Buy With a 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV Mortgage?
Lenders may have property eligibility criteria for 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV mortgages. Some restrictions may apply to:
- Properties with leaseholds
- New builds
- Non-standard construction
- Properties located in certain areas
Can I Get a 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV Mortgage With Bad Credit?
It can be challenging to secure a 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV mortgage with bad credit. Lenders typically consider credit history when assessing mortgage applications, and a poor credit score may affect your eligibility. However, some specialist lenders cater to individuals with bad credit, although higher interest rates and stricter terms may apply.
What Happens if I Can’t Afford the Repayments on My 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV Mortgage?
If you can’t afford the repayments on your 70%, 80%, or 90% LTV mortgage, you should contact your lender immediately. They may offer options such as repayment restructuring, temporary payment breaks, or extending the mortgage term to reduce monthly payments. Be sure to address any issues promptly to avoid potential consequences like arrears or repossession.
