Understanding the valuation process for mortgage applications is crucial for both buyers and sellers. While a down valuation can be disappointing, it's important to remember that it's part of a broader strategy to ensure financial stability. By being prepared and knowledgeable, you can navigate this process with confidence.
When applying for a mortgage to buy a property, the bank will send a valuer to assess the property's value. This valuation is crucial for the bank as it determines the amount of money they’re willing to lend.
While you can't directly influence the valuer's assessment, there are steps you can take to ensure the property is presented in the best possible light:
Offer relevant information about recent renovations, upgrades, or unique features of the property.
Present recent sales of similar properties in the area that support the asking price.
Make sure your Estate Agent is present during the valuation. They’ll be able to answer any questions the valuer may have
