Mortgage LTV Help

I am just about to buy a property from a house builder. The selling price for all of the properties is £235k, but as it is the last one in the phase, and someone who had exchanged on the property had pulled out, they have accepted £219k.

The exact same property next door sold for close to asking price.

How is my LTV calculated? On the value of £235k or the buying price I have agreed?

Thanks

    Were any incentives on offer?

    Perhaps you'd like to start a thread of your own instead of hijacking that of another member, the subject totally unrelated to yours?

    See the "new thread" blue button to the top left of the board "Mortgages & Endowments" you are in.
