Mortgage approved but have no found a new house!

Options
Hi All, as the title suggests, we had our mortgage approved before Xmas with additional borrowing for renovation works... Over Xmas we got cold feet and started looking again.  Had an offer accepted on another house on Friday and we are now waiting for mortgage advisor to call me to update the details.  We will now be effectively borrowing less on a more expensive property - LTV will now be 70% rather than 75%.  
Will this be a whole new mortgage application or just a change of address with new valuation?  Trying to work out how long this may take.  We are porting our current rate plus additional borrowing until out Fixed Price ends in May when we will combine them both.

    It will depend on the lender. They all have different processes.
