    Hi All,

    I'd like to get my PPoR valued for 2 purposes.

    First, I want to refinance it without paying LMI again.

    Second, I will be partly investing it (subletting), and I'd like to set its value for CGT calculation later on in case it applies.

    Any tips on how I should approach this? Cost of property valuation ain't cheap so I'm thinking, do I just go ahead applying for a refinance, and if in case it's valued not enough to avoid LMI, I'll just not go ahead with refinancing?

    Also, if bank orders the valuation, can I actually obtain a copy of the valuation report and would I be able to use that for CGT calculation later on?

    Thanks in advance for you insights.

    Cheers,

    LnM

    Hi Lnh

    You are right that the cost of a valuation x 2 isnt cheap especially if you dont proceed with the application.

    You are also correct that the Bank normally will not release a copy to you the borrower.

    If you use a mortgage broker there are a couple of lenders that allow your broker to instruct the valuation and if this is case then you maybe able to obtain a copy. In cases where i do this for my clients i will release a copy to them.
