There are a number of factors that can affect remortgage calculations.
It’s a cliché, but location, location, location holds true, especially as in many instances, the land is often more valuable than the home that sits on it.
The closer the property is to amenities such as shops, schools, restaurants and transport links, the more ‘sellable’ the property is, which means lenders are more likely to get a return on their investment if things go wrong.
Other factors to consider would be, is the property –

Simply put, LTV or Loan to Value, is the difference between the value of the property and the size of your mortgage.
Here are some examples –

|---|---|---|---|
| £155,000 | £5,000 | £150,000 | 96.7% |
| £165,000 | £15,000 | £150,000 | 90.9% |
| £175,000 | £25,000 | £150,000 | 85.7% |
| £180,000 | £30,000 | £150,000 | 83.3% |
| £190,000 | £40,000 | £150,000 | 78.9% |
| £200,000 | £50,000 | £150,000 | 75% |
| £225,000 | £75,000 | £150,000 | 66.6% |
| £250,000 | £100,000 | £150,000 | 60% |
| £275,000 | £125,000 | £150,000 | 54.5% |
| £300,000 | £150,000 | £150,000 | 50% |
The above table is for comparative purposes only. You should talk to your lender or broker for the most up-to-date information for your circumstances
When it comes to working out your loan to value (LTV) for the purposes of remortgaging, divide your outstanding mortgage amount by your properties value and then multiply by 100.
So if you have a £150,000 mortgage on a property worth £250,000, your LTV would be 60%.

Some types of buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the FCA. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. As a mortgage is secured against your home, it may be repossessed if you do not keep up with repayments on your mortgage. Equity released from your home will also be secured against it.
