A 95% mortgage, also known as a 95% loan-to-value (LTV) mortgage, is a mortgage to purchase a property with a small deposit (at least 5% but less than 10% deposit of the purchase price).
Your deposit is the amount of money that you need to put into the mortgage to make up 100% of the final purchase price.
You still require the income and good credit score to borrow the remaining 95% so you can buy your new home.
A 95% mortgage enables you to borrow up to 95% of the purchase price of the property you want to buy, with the remaining 5% made up of your deposit.
An arrangement such as this will sometimes be referred to as a 95% LTV mortgage, where LTV stands for 'loan-to-value' ratio.
The lender will still want to see you can afford the mortgage so will be accessing things like your income, expenditure and very importantly your credit score and result aswell.
