    See, I have a copy of the Home Report for the Offers Over £99k property. It says for insurance purposes the property is valued at £90k but has a market value of £115k. So what would a mortgage lender take as the valuation? Sorry, I'm really new to this so I really have no clue :embarasse

    The £90k figure should have a heading "Estimated reinstatement cost for insurance purposes"

    The valuation will be under the heading "Valuation and Market Comments" and typically reads - Market Value with vacant possession - £x - that's the valuation you're interested in.

    If the HR includes the Mortgage Valuation Report, look under section 11 - Market Valuation for Mortgage Purposes (assuming Vacant Possession)
