What Is A 100% Loan To Value Mortgage?

For 100 ltv mortgage, or loan to value which is what the ltv stands for, is the amount of mortgage or loan that is being offered to the mortgage applicant, against the overall value of the property, so loan to value is the ratio between these 2 sets of numbers.

A loan or mortgage, is usually secured in this instance on the property, and a mortgage will be the first inline with the title deeds, closely followed in second by any secured or home owner loans. These means that each of these debts take precedent on any funds which become available from repossession or house sale on the loan to value property.

One hundred percent ltv mortgages basically mean that the mortgage and perceived property value are equal, i.e. at 100% and so there is little or no room for extra funds, or should the value of the home fall, then negative equity will occur. This means that should you want to sell the property whilst it is in negative equity, then you will need to repay the minus balance outstanding, the difference between what it is now worth and what you actually borrowed on the 100 ltv mortgage.
