Remortgage valuations?!

Hi can anyone tell me....

If your house is valued for remortgage, does the valuer give an actual figure or a range?

I’ve tried to have it valued before the valuer came but it’s such a unique house, nothing has sold around it for around 3/4yrs for comparison. The valuations I have come in between £211-£233!

Do they pin it down to just one figure?

Thanks

    They will usually agree or disagree with your estimate and if they disagree they will enter a single figure on the report.

    If you are comfortably within the LTV bracket, then they'll most likely drive to the house, look at the valuation you gave and say "yep, seems reasonable". If they are really penny pinching, they'll take a desktop valuation and use that.
    But they give an absolute figure, and not a range.

    As an example, the value they gave on my house via a drive by (I'm in the middle of remortgaging myself) was a whole £100k less than the value I gave. However, because the LTV band isn't changing, it makes no difference.
