95% mortgages

Available to both first time buyers and home movers.

Most of us dream of owning our own home, but saving for a deposit can be hard. That’s why we're making it easier by offering 95% mortgages to help both first time buyers and home movers.

We’re the largest mortgage provider to offer 95% Loan to Value (LTV) mortgages without using the Government’s mortgage guarantee scheme.

What is Loan to Value (LTV)?

The LTV is the percentage of the property's value that’s covered by the mortgage.

For example, if you have a mortgage of £190,000 and your property is valued at £200,000, you have an LTV of 95%.

The 5% that isn’t covered by the mortgage is yours. And it’s usually called your equity.

Information:

House prices can go up and down. If property prices fall, there's a risk that the equity in your home could drop too. This could affect your future plans.

Features and benefits

  • Borrow up to 95% of the property value (LTV).

  • Borrow up to £500,000.

  • Fixed and tracker rate mortgage options.

  • 2 to 5 year deal deal periods, with and without product fees.

  • £500 cashback* when you complete on your mortgage if you’re a first time buyer.

To apply for a 95% mortgage

You need to:

  • be a UK resident
  • aged 18 or over
  • have a minimum deposit of 5%
  • be buying a pre-owned home (not available on new build properties).

You cannot be:

  • self-employed
  • buying a flat
  • buying a new build home.

Instead, you could apply for an 85% mortgage.
