LTV — loan-to-value
Loan divided by property value. Maximum 90% for a primary home, 80% for investment — on the lower of price and valuation.
Investors get 80%: a buy-to-let loan isn't a primary-home loan. If the bank's valuation comes in below the price, LTV is measured on the valuation.
Maximum term: 40 years up to age 35, 35 years after.
