Remortgage valuation

I am 3 years into a 25 year mortgage, and am coming to the end of my initial fix.

My lender Yorkshire have told me that their valuation of the property is just over 75% LTV which means my re-mortgage deals aren't as competitive. They have offered to re-value it for £75.

My question is: will Yorkshire only use their own valuer/surveyor for this valuation or can I instruct an independent one? What are the benefits, if any of doing this?
