Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mortgage deposit?

A mortgage deposit is the upfront payment you make towards the purchase price of a property, with the remainder covered by a mortgage loan.

How much deposit do I need in the UK?

Most lenders require at least 5-10% of the property value, though larger deposits (e.g., 20%) can secure better interest rates.

What is Loan to Value (LTV)?

LTV is the ratio of your mortgage loan to the property value, expressed as a percentage. A lower LTV often means better mortgage rates.

Can I get a mortgage with a small deposit?

Yes, some lenders offer 95% LTV mortgages (5% deposit), but rates may be higher. Check schemes like the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, available until June 2025.
