As far as I know you don't need another survey but it might be worth changing the mortgage and getting a new one if the value of your property has increased since you originally took it out. I changed from C & G in 1999 to Intelligent finance, who not only met the mortgage but - because of the value of the house - put on a pre-agreed reserve borrowing amount which allowed me to make some improvements. Or maybe try your existing lender and get a remortgage based on the latest value.
