High street banks offer a diverse range of options for individuals looking to purchase residential property.
These lenders provide a range of LTVs, with some offering mortgages up to 95%. The LTV for which borrowers qualify is determined by a number of factors including personal financial position, income and affordability, property value, type and location and the credit history of the borrower. A high LTV means the borrower puts down a lesser deposit and hence benefits from increased liquidity.
Interest rates are a crucial component of any mortgage arrangement, and the rates offered by high street banks reflect prevailing economic conditions and lending practices. Borrowers can choose between fixed and variable interest rate mortgages.
