Retention product

Will a retention product consider the current value of a property or will it only consider the initial value?
I have a 6% deal ending soon reverting to SVR of 2.5 (woohoo!). I don't know if a retention product, remortgage or staying on the SVR will be best at the moment so want to make sure I understand each option fully. This is the only thing I am unsure of. Thanks in advance.

Who is your lender?
Many will take an estimated value based on a house price index.
Switching off a 2.5% SVR may mean losing that SVR forever. So keeping it and overpaying should be an option to consider.0
