If you have a repayment mortgage, you pay off the capital over time, which increases the percentage of your home you own.
This reduces your loan to value (LTV) which is good news when you remortgage, as having a lower LTV often means you can get a better interest rate.

Your LTV can also go down if the property’s value increases because you owe less in relation to what it’s worth.
