This is an information service. By browsing on the website and/or using our search tools, you are asking RateCity to provide you with information about Home Loans from multiple financial institutions. We will try to show you a range of products in response to your request for information. The search results do not include all providers, for further details refer to our FSCG. We are not a credit provider, and in giving you product information we are not making any suggestion or recommendation to you about a particular credit product. If you decide to apply for a Home Loan, you will deal directly with a financial institution, and not with RateCity.

LVR

LVR stands for loan-to-value ratio, which is the ratio set by lenders for each home loan that represents how much of the total purchase price you can actually borrow and is expressed as a percentage. For example, if the home you wish to purchase is valued at $400,000 and the home loan has a LVR of 80 percent then you will be able to apply for a loan for $320,000 and you will need a deposit for the remaining 20 percent or $80,000.

The higher the LVR the less deposit you will require and the more you can essentially borrow, and the lower the LVR the more deposit you will need and the less you can borrow.

To find a home loan to suit you check out our home loans page and start comparing today. The table table lists all home loans currently advertised with an LVR of 90 percent and an AAPR less than 7 percent.
