The RAW Mortgages offering is now more flexible than ever! We are able to consider up to 60% LTV on eligible cases completing after March 1st including:

  • non-UK residents
  • UK expats 
  • UK bridging loans

A handy guide to 60% LTV 

Participating loans will be split into two separate tranches. Previously, when arranging a loan of up to 55% LTV, the loan was funded by the RAW Mortgage Fund. Now, when arranging a loan of 60% LTV, 55% is provided by the RAW Mortgage Fund and 5% is provided by a new lender.

The interest charged by the two lenders creates the blended rate quoted on RAW Mortgages' rate card, which you can see here. We’ve created a handy guide to illustrate how it all works too.

Higher LTV loans

*All interest rates stated are margins above Bank of England base rate (subject to a base rate floor of 0.75%). The example above is for illustrative purposes only and loan to valuation ratios and interest rates may vary.


What are the benefits?

First, the borrower is able to borrow a larger sum than previously.

Second, as the borrower can repay all or part of the loan from the new lender fee-free at any time, they can reduce the total interest rate payable and gain a direct benefit from repaying a small amount of capital.

Finally, borrowers receive the same flexible lending criteria and quick turnaround times as they always have! 

Worked examples

Example 1:

Borrower A wishes to borrow £240,000 at 55% LTV. Their mortgage will come entirely from the RAW Mortgage Fund at 4.25% (plus base rate).

Example 2:

Borrower B wishes to borrow £240,000 at 60% LTV. Their mortgage will come as a loan of £220,000 from the RAW Mortgage Fund at 4.25% (plus base rate) and £20,000 from RAW LendCo at 7.25% (plus base rate) for a total loan of £240,000 at a blended interest rate of 4.50% (plus base rate). At any point during the loan term, the borrower can repay £20,000 and reduce their interest rate to 4.25% (plus base rate) without incurring additional charges.
