Hi,

Although I have only just got my first house/mortgage and jumping the gun (by 4 years and 10months) how does house valuation work on a re-mortgage?

Say I want deal X that is for a LTV of <60% who does the valuation if at all?

thanks in advance.

    Your valuation for a remortgage will usually be carried out by a surveyor on behalf of the bank.

    And the surveyor gives a "realistic" price, which seems to often be lower than what you're expecting. Just to warn you.

    I am also remortgaging. Rang my current lender and they did a quick computer generated valuation of my house. This then gave me a good idea of what I can ring up and ask other lenders about their products.
