    Well, if you have bought it then that’s what it’s worth to you.  You will need to get a rebuild value for insurance.  
    Unfortunately after winning the bidding I found out that if the surveyor under values it to what I bid the mortgage lender might refuse the mortgage.  So unfortunately it's not just what it's worth to me.

    Well the way you find that out is for your mortgage lender to get their survey done.  When is that happening?

    This is true. Most people don't understand that when they're buying a house (or selling).

    fitzykev, it sounds like you're in that very stressful waiting period where you are emotionally committed to the purchase and therefore now terrified of everything going wrong. This will continue until the purchase is completed (or uncompleted!). Lots more stressors to come ... but try to separate yourself from the things you can't control. If the lender values the bungalow lower than your offer and you don't have the difference, then discuss it with the Estate Agent. They'll either be able to talk their seller into lowering the value, or they'll help you to find another suitable property.

    But the value will take into account all the things you mentioned, including how good local schools are, visual appeal, etc ...  We got a very odd valuation paragraph on our lender's survey, including sentences like "unexpectedly nice street" ... Made me think the surveyor turned into the street and thought "oh this is quite nice actually; thought it would be horrid"" ....

    Depends on what your LTV is too. If you have a high enough LTV they might offer the same amount, but at a higher LTV  (which may mean higher interest rates)

    House bid to £163000 deposit £66000 mortgage £97000. It could be a few thousand over if it is not spot on.

    House bid to £163000 deposit £66000 mortgage £97000. It could be a few thousand over if it is not spot on. 
    So only 59% LTV. Should be easy enough to borrow the same amount even if the valuation is lower, but as mentioned might be a different product depending on the LTV %. Obviously depends whether you're still happy to pay the same amount!
