A 90% loan to value (90% LTV) mortgage allows buyers, whether they are first time buyers or home movers, to acquire a property with just a 10% deposit, while the mortgage lender covers the remaining 90%.
For example, if you are purchasing a £200k property, a 10% deposit would be £20k. Then you would take out a 90% LTV mortgage for £190k to cover the purchase price.
90% LTV mortgages can be used for buying your first home, moving home, remortgaging, and capital raising such as for debt consolidation or home improvements.
If you border line between a 95% or 90% LTV mortgage, (or 90% and 85%), it’s always a good idea to compare both rates available so you can see the difference.

It is not easy finding a 90% LTV mortgage product, we find that often there are hurdles to face along the way. Without the help of a mortgage broker, you may encounter problems with property surveys, valuations, and the conveyancing process.

If you are looking to purchase a £200k property, you will be required to put down 10% of this value.
A 10% deposit for a £200k property amounts to £20k. This £20k can be made up from savings of a gifted deposit.
£180k mortgage application for the remaining 90% purchase price will be applied for and you’ll repay this back monthly for the term of your mortgage which is typically 25-30 years.

90% LTV shared ownership mortgages are available from some mortgage lenders. The good news with shared ownership is that the percentage of deposit you need to put down is the share of the property you are buying.
90% LTV shared ownership mortgage example:
You’re buying a 50% share of a £200,00 property.
Purchase price – £200k
Share purchase – £100k
10% Deposit Required – £10k
90% LTV shared ownership mortgages are available both on a sole and joint name basis. When calculating the affordability for the lender, the rent payment will need to be taken into account to ensure that both the mortgage and the rent together are affordable to you.
90% LTV mortgages are available with a gifted deposit. Gifted deposit mortgages are a popular way for both first time buyers and home movers to buy a home.
Gifted deposits usually come from close family members to help our customers have a bigger deposit and keep the monthly mortgage payments down.
As part of the application process, proof of deposit will be required that shows the accumulation of funds. It’s always best not to start moving any money around bank accounts before speaking with your mortgage broker, lots of bank transfers between family and accounts can be confusing for banks.
A 10% deposit mortgage is not possible for investment properties. For a buy to let mortgage, you will usually have to provide a 25%-25% deposit.
Buy to let properties also come with strict lending criteria and affordability assessments.
