I’ve noticed some people having physical valuations and some desktop. Is there any hard and fast rule to this decision or does it depend on the lender? Thanks

I believe that if the house is a new build or a flat/ apartment, a psychical valuation must take place. I have seen this somewhere else on the forums, cannot guarantee that it's correct.FTB with Natwest

I've seen a few articles saying it is dependant on the LTV. I had a physical valuation because I upgraded to homebuyers report.1
