6 CENTRAL BANK Loan to Value (LTV) for principal dwelling houses (PDH) PDH mortgages for non-first time buyers are subject to a limit of 80 per cent LTV. For first time buyers of properties valued up to 220,000, a maximum LTV of 90 per cent will apply. For first time buyers of properties over 220,000 a 90 per cent limit will apply on the first 220,000 value of a property and an 80 per cent limit will apply on any excess value over this amount. The cumulative monetary value of loans for principal dwelling purposes which breach either of these limits should not exceed 15 per cent of the euro value of all PDH loans on an annual basis. Loan to Value (LTV) for Buy to Let mortgages (BTLs) BTL mortgages are subject to a limit of 70 per cent LTV. This limit can only be exceeded by no more than 10 per cent of the euro value of all housing loans for non PDH purposes during an annual period. Loan to Income (LTI) for PDH mortgages PDH mortgage loans are subject to a limit of 3.5 times loan to gross income. This limit should not be exceeded by more than 20 per cent of the euro value of all housing loans for PDH purposes during an annual period. 6
