Mortgage LTV property valuation.

Hi,
I am due to come to the end of my fix term mortgage having bought my house two years ago.
I am right on the edge of having a LTV of 85%. At the moment I am slightly above it however,
When I bought the house it was valued £3k more than what i paid for it. With the valuation being £3k more I would be below the 85% LTV.
I Am currently with the Halifax and I’ll ‘shop’ around for the best deal but my question is...
Will Halifax take the valuation of my house at what it is was 2 years ago? what i paid for it two years ago? Will they come up with a value based on the market etc? Or will I have to get it revalued by a surveyor and hope they value it at the same value as 2 years ago?
I am worried the bank will want me to stay above 85% so they get more money out of me.
Thanks for any help.

They use an indexed valuation.
Brokers can access these online using a mortgage account number, so you can probably do the same.I am a mortgage broker.

You should be able to call them and ask what they value your house at today.0

Just a update, spoke with halifax today. They value the house on what houses near to me have sold for. Good news LTV is 79% so should get a decent deal.0

So can you put some cash into the mortgage and get the LTV down to 75%0
