Understanding loan-to-value can cut mortgage costs, Martin Lewis notes
Loan-to-value drives mortgage costs

Martin Lewis, identified as founder and finance commentator at MoneySavingExpert, described loan-to-value (LTV) as the biggest single factor affecting mortgage costs. According to Lewis, LTV refers to the proportion of a home’s current value that a person is borrowing, and understanding this metric could help reduce mortgage expenses.

Lewis has previously provided guidance on lowering the cost of credit or store card debt in a step-by-step approach. He has also highlighted recent offers from U.K. banks, noting that some institutions are giving away up to £600 in free cash ahead of Christmas in his latest podcast. The commentator continues to focus on practical strategies for reducing consumer finance costs.
