Tips on How to get a high valuation

Hi.
I'm looking to remortgage my house. I've found a good deal that I get provided the LTV is less than 60%. Based on my (non-expert!) valuation of my house my LTV is about 60%. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me about how to get a good valuation when the lender's surveyor comes round to value the house?
Bear in mind here that I don't have the funds available for any major work to the house.
One thing I've though of are as the house is rendered get any cracks repaired and then get it repainted. I've recently has new doors and carpets fitted anyway.
Thanks
Jonathon

I doubt that repainting would make any difference at all - I wouldn't waste money doing anything to be honest. Be aware that surveyors are covering themselves and so might value at less than you're hoping, ie if you're looking at what houses in the area achieved last year.0
