LTV query

Hi there,
Just have a small query...perhaps obvious but just want to clarify.
Does the LTV take into account the actual value or the price you pay?
We're looking at a property with a value of 200k on the Home Report but think that we could buy it for about 177k adn have a 30k deposit leaving a total of 147 which we'd require a mortgage for. Am I right in thinking then that we need 147k loan on a 200k value (73.5%)
We already have a flat which we are contemplating keeping to rent out if we don't sell it soon. At the moment we have a LTV of 53% (it's worth 70k). Is it worth trying to release some equity from this for the new property or just trying to keep that as low as possible? We have a northern rock mortage and it's fixed (at 6.5%) until next September with a £1600 ERC.
Lots of options but just need to clarify the LTV situation as we'd like to keep the new property under 75% to get a better rate!
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

LTV is calculated on the LOWER or the purchase price OR valuation unless buying from a close family member.
In your situation you would be 147k against 177k so 83% LTV assuming a none inter family sale.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Ok thanks for that. We still have the option of releasing some equity from out flat then to try and keep it below 75%.0
