    My wife and I are considering using our own home to rent..we owe $180,000 with the house being worth approx $300,000.
    Our aim is to refinance the $180,000 outstanding and rent the house ou for approx $300 weekly and at the same time, use the equity (approx $120,000) to purchase a larger home for ourselves to live in. (we have lived here for 14years with 2 kids and need more room etc…).

    We want to have an independant valuation completed on our home to ascertain the TRUE “value” before approaching any banks. Is this the correct course of action so WE know exactly what our home is worth both for refinancing and for equity purposes.

    Can anyone offer meaningful advise.

    warm regards

    Hi Boris & Elizabeth,

    Before you get your property valued, you should decide which lender you plan on going with, as you will need to get a valuer who is on their panel. Also, not all lenders will except the valuation as they like to do their own.

    You should speak with a broker about this.

    Regards

    I owuld just go through the lender to get the valuation. No need to double up, and it would save you about $300.
