As you compare home loans, you may come across the term LVR. LVR stands for loan-to-value ratio and represents the amount you borrow as a percentage of the property value. For example, if you were borrowing $350,000 to pay for a $500,000 home, then your LVR would be calculated as $350,000 ÷ $500,000 x 100 = 70% LVR.
