Mortgage brokers are predicting a sharp increase in the number of mortgages with a loan to value (LTV) ratio of 100 per cent or more.
According to research by Alliance & Leicester Mortgages, more than three quarters (78 per cent) of brokers are predicting a rise in 100 per cent plus LTV mortgages over the next two years.

"The mortgage market is continually changing and there is an ever growing need to find more flexible products to allow people to get on the housing ladder or to manage their existing borrowings in a better and more efficient way."
