How much you can borrow against your home or any other property will depend on your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.
This is a metric lenders use to balance how much you are intending to leverage against your property versus the market value of the property. This takes into account both your existing borrowing and any new loans you are seeking to take out.
So, if your property is worth £100,000 and you have an existing mortgage for £50,000 and wish to borrow an additional £25,000 this would give you total borrowing of £75,000 against the £100,000 value of the house.
This means your borrowing would equal 75% of the value of your home and this is your loan-to-value figure.
