EXAMPLE:

Assume you have a property with an original valuation of $500,000 in 2007.
Existing mortgage facility is $400,000 @ 10% for 20 years, original down payment was $100,000
Mortgage balance is $360,000 in 2012

Scenario 1:
What is the available equity in 2012 that can be utilized assuming the original value of the property remains the same?

Answer:

LTV Maximum Equity Available
  Maintains current market value of $500,000.
With standard 80% [80% * $500,000] - $360,000 = $40,000
   

Scenario 2:
If in 2012 the property has increased in value to $560,000, what is the new available equity?

Answer:

LTV Maximum equity available
  Appreciates to $560,000
With standard 80% [80% * $560,000] - $360,000 = $88,000
