Re-mortgage and request new valuation?

We bought our house for £265k in 2011 from a divorcing couple who needed to sell quick and were flexible on price to enable that. Our mortgage and LTV is based on that valuation.
In the past few months a number of near identical houses in our street and neighbouring ones have sold for £320-360k. We are due to re-mortgage in September - how do I approach a lender with a view to seeing if a valuation would bring us in line with these other houses and drive down the LTV?
Is this something a broker is better placed to assist with?

If you're switching lender, you simply apply for the relevant remortgage product based on what you think the LTV of the property is. The lender will then carry out a valuation and if their valuation comes back and matches yours, you'll be able to take out that product. If their valuation is different however and you fall into a different LTV bracket than you think, you will then need to chose a product relevant to your LTV as specified by the lender.0
