There are numerous types of loans that form the group called home loans, and two members of this group are mortgages and remortgages. Both mortgages and remortgages are secured on residential property, and the amount of mortgage or remortgage that can be granted depends on the available equity on the property. Equity is the difference between the value of a property and the mortgage secured on it. To give an example of what equity in fact is, on a property valuation of 250,000 and a mortgage outstanding of 80,000, the available equity would be 170,000. For both remortgages and mortgages lenders are no longer willing to grant 100% LTV products. Very few mortgage lenders are even prepared to advance 95% LTV mortgages and remortgages.Even 90% LTV mortgages and remortgages are only available from a minority of lenders. The situation in the mortgage and remortgage market place is a very different place now from it was at the end of 2006 up to the beginning of 2007 when 100% LTV remortgages and mortgages were readily available; The Northern Rock Building Society even had a mortgage plan whereby a borrower could borrow up to 25% more than the value of the property. However what happened to that society is history. Mortgages and remortgages have good rates of interest at present with the repayments on tracker deals being particularly attractive at present. What makes their repayments so low is that they follow or track the Bank Of England base lending rate which is at the historic low on 0.05%. Rates as low as 1.98% and 1.99% are out there with the former being available for those with at least a 40% deposit and the latter for those with a minimum 30% deposit. Fixed rate remortgages and mortgages abound starting at about 3%, and as such the mortgage and remortgage sector still offer attractive products.
