First Time Buyer mortgages
With house prices having risen so significantly in recent years, many first time buyers struggle to make it onto the property ladder. First time buyer mortgages are intended to make things a little easier by offering various advantages to those looking to buy their first home.
First time buyer mortgages often allow borrowers to buy a property with a deposit of as little as 5%. They may also offer reduced repayment rates for an introductory period and may allow a close relative to stand as guarantor for the mortgage to help mitigate the risk for the lender.
Remortgaging with Manchester Building Society
If you feel you are not getting a good deal on your mortgage or need to find an affordable way to increase your borrowing, remortgaging is worth considering. It can allow you to pay off your existing mortgage with a new one offering lower monthly payments or leaving you with a spare lump sum if you choose to borrow more.
Second charge mortgages
Remortgaging is not always the cheapest option when it comes to increasing your borrowing against your property. Taking out a separate secured loan can make more sense if you are already getting a good deal on your current mortgage. You can often take your total borrowing up to as much as 90% of the value of your home with a second charge mortgage.
Loan to value ratio
Mortgage providers look at two main things when deciding how much to lend – the income of the borrower or borrowers and the loan to value (LTV) ratio. LTV is a way of showing how much the mortgage is relative to the market value of the property. It is expressed as a percentage.
So, if you borrow £50,000 on a property worth £100,000, this gives an LTV of 50%. The lower your LTV, the better interest rates you will tend to be offered. LTV takes into account all borrowing secured against a property. So if you already have a mortgage, then seek to borrow more as a separate loan, both the value of the loan and the value of the mortgage will be combined when calculating the LTV.
