Looking for a mortgage with LTV based on valuation NOT purchase price

Options
Is there such a mortgage that is based on the valuation of the property and NOT the purchase price? It seems that all the providers say they take the lower of the two. I purchased my property in November and have added around £10k worth to it, and with the (small) growth in the market, my LTV should be a bit better.

    They will lend on the current value at the present time, not the price you bought it for. Your question really only applies when a property is being bought for less than market value.
