Moneynet.co.uk has found that mortgages which require a low deposit charge fees through interest loading instead.
First time-buyers searching for a house in this difficult climate have been warned that they could be hit with higher mortgage rates on packages which require a smaller deposit.Moneynet.co.uk found that someone wanting a five-year fixed-rate mortgage on a £200,000 property over 25 years could pay up to £14,000 more for an 85 per cent loan-to-value deal than a 75 per cent option.
Interest loading accounts for £6,431 of this amount and while this charge is 0.35 per cent for banks such as Abbey, Natwest and Nationwide Building Society push it up to a full one per cent.
A representative for Moneynet.co.uk said: "With house price falls starting to slow, you have to start to question how much of this difference in pricing is risk-related and how much is nothing more than a mechanism to boost profits at the customers' expense."
Those struggling to find a low loan-to-value deal with reduced mortgage rates may be interested in a new deal by Britannia Building society, which requires a ten per cent deposit.
