Remortgage during renovation - effects on my LTV

Morning all,

my current mortgage has run its course and is finishing very soon so I will have to remortgage to get a new deal.

I am however coming to the end of a renovation which could possibly see my LTV dropping from its current 75%, down to 50-60%. The issue is, building control will not be able to sign the completion certificate before my current offer expires.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to get a house valued during an offer term, thus have the interest rate adjusted depending on LTV?

If not then I would assume my best option would be to stick out the base rate for a couple of months until the valuation is complete?

Any ideas welcome,

Thanks,

Mark.

    The valuer will base their opinion on the condition of the property at the time. The lack of a completion certificate shouldn't hinder matters.

    How much "renovation" work is yet to be completed?
