First Time Buyer mortgages

Buy to Let mortgages

Remortgaging with Mansfield Building Society
If you think you could get a better deal today on your mortgage than you did when you first took it out, or want to borrow more, remortgaging is worth considering. It can allow you to switch your mortgage to one charging a lower interest rate or borrow more, so you end up with a spare lump sum once your old mortgage is paid off.
Loan to value ratio
There are several factors that will likely influence how much you are able to borrow as a mortgage.
Your income is one, but your loan to value (LTV) ratio is also an important consideration. This shows how much the amount you want to borrow is as a percentage of the market value of the property being purchased.
For example, a £50,000 mortgage on a £100,000 property would equate to a LTV of 50%.
LTV takes into account all borrowing secured against a property, so if you decided to take out a second secured loan on a property you already have a mortgage on, both will need to be added together to work out the LTV.
