    I really think the banks somehow have lower vals for 95% lends. I bought a property last August for $265,000 (bought under value). Got it revalued in september 2012 at $310,000 and borrowed up to 80%. Recently wanted to up the borrowing to 90%. The val only came in at $280,000 (they wouldn't use the $310,000 despite it being less than 6 months). I didn't have time to contest this so can't give any advice here.  

    Goodluck. Sometimes you have to be very creative with the borrowing to get what you want.

    Hi Lila

    Most the time the valuers that are appointed to carry out the valuation don't have a clue what LVR the loan is going to be – the info they're working off is how much was it purchased for (if a purchase) or how much does the owner think it's worth (if a refinance).

    Cheers
