    How much is the difference in rate?
    How long is the lock-in to this new borrowing?
    Haven’t even checked on rare difference yet- waiting to see what they come back with. 
    5 year fixed @ 1.59%

    Perhaps a shorter fix, if they aren't willing to agree on an LtV that you're happy with?

    It's odds-on the market will be a lot more settled in two years than now.

    That way you're only looking at 24mo of the higher rate, instead of 60mo on a 5yr.

    If the other houses on your street have only sold in the last 3-6 months then it is possible that the details are not on the Land Registry yet so the valuer can not use them to compare against yours.

    There hasn’t been any houses sold in our street since 2017 except the one I mentioned. However these are Victorian/ Edwardian terraces and there are streets in both sides full of similar houses so the sale price of those should be relevant?

    If you’ve a crystal ball just provide the lottery number for later and the valuation becomes irrelevant 🤣
