    Paying the lender some money !

    Depending how much you are borrowing it could be anywhere between a desktop evaluation to a visit.

  • They're making a visit with such a low LTV? Fair enough.

    The valuation will probably be a cursory once around the house to check its not literally falling to pieces. The person doing the survey will likely already have a pretty good idea of its value they just need to see it to confirm what they already know

    Our existing lender sent someone to value our property yesterday on a remortgage despite the LTV against their automatic valuation being under 20%. Today we got notified they were happy with the valuation. Complete mystery why they bothered. Thankfully it was free.
