Halifax has released a range of purchase products for those moving home available up to 85-90 per cent of the property’s value.
The launch of these mortgages come a month after the bank resumed lending at 90 per cent loan to value with two products for first-time buyers.
Purchases for new-build properties will not be eligible on the mortgages, neither will purchases made using schemes such as Help to Buy or Shared Ownership.
An enhanced credit score will be applied to applications and it has a maximum loan to income (LTI) of 4.49 x income.
The maximum loan amount is £500,000.
