All Topics / General Property / Are bank valuations really market value?
That is wrong. He shouldn’t be taking his own private crusade out on your valuation.
His job is to advise on the current market valuation supported by comparable sales. If you look at a valuation you will see that it has a seperate section for market volatility. This is where he can highlight his perceived risk of an inflated market.
A valuation is for the day it is valued. It is not the valuers job to predict the future.
Your broker will be able to advise you which lenders are preferred for valuing different types of properties.

>While on the subject, is $550.00 a normal type of price to pay for a valuation.
I think that is grossly overpriced, I recently paid $230 and via my bank (stg) they charge $185.
I would have thought for $550 he should have let you put your own price down, because I dont think he has morals anyway!

Hi Sunshine,
You must be up north by sounds?
I’d be happy to share a recent experience, highlighting the diff between market value and bank valuation.
Regards, Phil
Hi NATS 12, I’ve just had 3 valuations done this week and I didn’t have to pay anything for them. They were all done with the lender who the present loans are with. 2 Valuations were about 15% under what the REA has said they would sell for 6 months ago and the other was 20% over. How they work out the valuations beats me.
