Bath Building Society and the Melton Building Society have capped high LTV lending due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bath Buidling Society has reduced its maximum LTV to 70%, and the Melton Building Society has cut its maximum LTV to 60%.
In addition, the Melton will no longer accept self build, buy-to-let, Help to Buy, shared ownership or any other new build applications currently.
A spokesperson for Bath Building Society, said: “With no valuers being able to undertake physical valuations we have reduced to 70% so we can continue to do business as we can accept ‘desk top/AVM’ valuations for 70% LTV and below.”
Dan Atkinson, head of sales & marketing, at the Melton Building Society, added: “Guidance from Public Health England is currently preventing valuers from being able to carry out their normal duties, meaning we cannot progress specific loan types.”
