    If I recall previous answers on this point correctly, the valuation is almost always done on the property 'as is'; the lender has no guarantee that the money will in fact be used on the extension (general comment, not aimed at you specifically), nor as to the quality of the work or the likely value of the house after it's completed (could take years, market could nosedive).

    Others will know if there are specialist lenders around.
