    - Loan to Value LTV -

 
  Loan to value (LTV) is a figure arrived at by taking into account the value of an object being financed (be it a car or a house) and the size of the deposit, and is expressed as a percentage. For example, if a car is being bought for £5,000 (V) and the borrower is paying a £1,000 deposit, the loan will be £4,000 (L). The LTV will therefore be (L/V) x 100%, or (£4000 divided by £5000) x 100% = 0.8 x 100 = 80%. The lower the LTV, the smaller the risk to the lender (who might have to sell the item should the borrower fail to pay). A loan where no deposit is paid would have an LTV of 100%.
