How the Client's Loan-to-Value |(LTV) Affects the Loan Size

The tables below show the maximum lending limits dependent upon the circumstances of the application. Please note: LTVs are tiered and the tables show the maximum LTVs if products are available at that LTV and purchase price/value.

Please ensure you refer to the current product interest rates as product LTV restrictions apply. Products may not always be available up to the maximum LTV limits in the table below.

Loans above £1,000,000 are not currently available.

The maximum LTV can also be affected by:

  • Whether the customer is new to Nationwide or an existing borrower;
  • Whether our security is a new build;
  • The purpose of the loan;
  • Limitations on the product selected (see our interest rates for further information).
