    Ho w did you purchase the house in the ifrst place?

    Was it a cash purchase?

    If you want to raise the money against the property, you can, however remeber the surveyor will value the property in its current condition so the £80k needs to be a realsitic figure

    I've noticed valuations being very conservative lately especially on re-mortgages
