Do lenders keep valuations on file?

Hi,

We had a buyer go through natwest and they got a full mortgage offer when it was valued in November 2021. Unfortunately they pulled out just before exchange and we've since had 2 buyers which got down valued 15k by SDL (same surveyor). Our current buyer has stuck around and reapplied to natwest a week ago. I've heard nothing about a valuation yet so would they still have the valuation from November on file and would they use that if they were to do a desktop valuation?

Thank you!

    I think they adjust the valuation depending on the current market 
    If another 4 bed house sells for £50,000 more  than the last 4 bed house sale they will take that into account

    If it's a desktop valuation I don't see why they wouldn't just re-run it with up to date figures - it's not as if they'd be saving another visit to the property.
  • Thank you, it's funny I just got a call from connells to visit- different surveyors from when the first which natwest used e.surv so I don't think they'll look back. All fingers crossed now
