Loan-to-Value (LTV)

The share of a property's value a lender will finance.

Loan-to-Value is the proportion of a property's value that a lender is willing to finance. If a lender offers 80 percent LTV, the buyer funds the remaining 20 percent, plus stamp duty and registration, from their own resources. LTV limits are set by lender policy and regulation.
