Thank you all for your answers. I am aware that our discounts were different as he got nearly 70% and I got 60% but this makes no difference to the valuations. I paid �14,000 for my flat and he paid �7,650. As you can imagine this made a tremendous difference to my mortgage payments (interest rate at that time was 12.5%!). I had a new bathroom suite installed and replaced some units in the kitchen but it was far from being a fitted kitchen. Otherwise the flats were identical. I don't see that those small improvements should have made a difference in value of 40%. I just feel that I was treated unfairly. Another identical flat on the estate was valued at about �42,000 13 years after I bought mine.
