LTV Help

We bought our house in AUgust 05, the 2yr fixed deal is coming to an end soon and I am looking around for a good deal at the moment.

Problem I have is our house is a shared ownership type affair, we own (Mortgage company) 75% - S.O own 25%

We bought the house for £105000 it is now worth something like £135000 ish but not had it valued, what would the LTV be if we were to borrow another £75000 like we did orignally.

The above numbers are not exact numbers but i need some clarification.

    £75,000 devided by £135,000 x 100 = 55.55%

    Ask your present lender if they can offer you a better deal first.

    What are you borrowing the extra funds for?

    Shared ownership lenders tend to limit extra funds for buying further amounts of their property

    This bit confused me then, as you ask about borrowing an extra £75k;)

    in which case it is me who is confused as i know nothing about which i am speaking!!

    To prove a point i have only just found out I am tied in till end of sept 08!!

    Would it be feasable to borrow extra to top up the existing £75k i already owe and move to a bigger property? or would having 2 mortgages at different rates be very stupid?

    I hope I am making myself clear
