Due to the quirks of the Scottish offers over system for buying houses, when I bought my house in 2007 it was valued at £140,000 by a surveyor, I paid £150,000 for it, and someone else was prepared to pay £160,000 for it. So putting a figure on it’s value now is tricky.
Now I’m looking to remortgage obviously my loan to value ratio is going to make a noticeable difference to what rates I can get, so I want the value as high as possible.
We are also steadily renovating/redecorating the house, with a new garage due later this year.
My question is, am I better of waiting until all the work is done before doing all the revaluation/remortgage, or will work in progress be considered by the surveyor?
