160Indexed loan-to-value range

The indexed loan-to-value (‘ILTV’) range is the ratio between the current loan amount and the current value of the property.

The indexed loan-to-value range shall be calculated in a prudent manner and comply with at least the following features:

  1. (a)

    Total amount of the loan: the outstanding amount of the mortgage loan plus any undrawn committed amount of the mortgage loan (after applying the corresponding credit conversion factor). The loan amount shall be calculated gross of any specific credit risk adjustments and shall include all other loans (including those provided by other financial institutions that are known to the institution) secured with liens of equal or higher ranking on the same residential property with respect to the lien securing the loan. If there is insufficient information for ascertaining the ranking of the other liens, the institution shall assume that these liens rank pari passu with the lien securing the loan.

  2. (b)

    Value of the property: the value of the property is the independent valuation of the property at some point in time (most likely at origination) and converted to a current value using a property price index. The valuation should be performed independently by appraisers that meet specific qualification requirements. Qualifying requirements and minimum appraisal standards shall comply with the following conditions:

    • there is an individual assessment of the property and the property is valued in a prudent and conservative manner (e.g. excluding expectationsof future price appreciations and taking into account any potential for the current property price to be above a level that is sustainable over the life of the loan, for example due to a property price bubble);

    • if a market value can be determined, the valuation is not higher than the market value;

    • the valuation is supported by adequate appraisal documentation.

Institutions are requested to document their calculations and provide the documents to their competent authority upon request.

The ILTV categories are the following:

  1. (a)

    <= 25 %;

  2. (b)

    > 25 % <= 50 %;

  3. (c)

    > 50 % <= 75 %;

  4. (d)

    > 75 % <= 100 %;

  5. (e)

    > 100 % <= 125 %;

  6. (f)

    > 125 %;

  7. (g)
