If you’re purchasing a home and require a mortgage, you’ve probably heard the term “mortgage valuation.” Understanding how mortgage valuations function is essential for any potential homeowner because they are used by lenders to determine the eligibility of houses for purchase. A mortgage valuation is an assessment of the property’s value by your mortgage lender. They will send a qualified surveyor to value the property, who may also be a valuation specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The purpose of the valuation is to determine how much the property is genuinely worth and whether or not your mortgage should be approved. This will be used by your lender to determine if the property is worth the money you (and thus they) are being asked to pay for it. The lender will then decide whether or not to offer you a mortgage on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A ‘down valuation’ occurs when the valuation is less than the agreed-upon sale price. Your lender may therefore opt to deny you the mortgage or to lend you less than the full amount. They could also change the interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to the exchange of contracts (release of the offer) to purchase a property, the buyer or the buyer’s mortgage provider will typically commission this mortgage valuation report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mortgage valuation report is paid for by you, the borrower, but it is normally entirely for the benefit of the mortgage provider, but this is not always the case. The lender will have a certain minimum loan to value ratio requirements, and the report will establish that the property is of adequate worth to meet these standards. The report does not have to appraise the property at the purchase price if the loan-to-value ratio is still met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A valuation or survey is not necessary if you do not require a mortgage. However, given the sums involved, a valuation survey of some form conducted by a competent independent RICS Chartered Surveyor third party would be prudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lenders may do property valuations in a variety of methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A surveyor will usually visit the property you’re interested in buying and prepare a short report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, in other cases, the surveyor will make a valuation using online data such as recent sales data, Land Registry details, and local knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there are no concerns when the valuation is received by the lender, this will result in the mortgage offer, which can take roughly one week (but can vary depending on particular circumstances).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The completion of a valuation does not imply that the mortgage is approved; nonetheless, the valuation report may highlight concerns. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other requirements that may or may not be met include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A mortgage valuation is NOT a property survey, even if it is performed by a certified surveyor. They will do a brief examination of the property, which may reveal some condition issues such as dampness or subsidence, but the report will be far less comprehensive than an independent survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that the valuer is primarily concerned with issues that may jeopardize the security of the mortgage lender’s loan. The lender only needs to know that if necessary, they may recoup their money. The report is prepared for the advantage of the lender, not you. In fact, you may never receive the report, and if you discover any faults when you move in, you will have no recourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, you should never depend solely on a mortgage valuation to determine the condition of a property. To avoid purchasing a property with unanticipated concerns, we recommend conducting a proper, independent construction survey. If you are in Scotland, you will need to spend some time reviewing the Home Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are various degrees and types of mortgage valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some take longer than others, in terms of execution and organization. A normal valuation typically takes less than 30 minutes and can be completed quickly. On the other hand, arranging an in-depth Home-Buyers Report or Building Survey can take several hours and a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These deadlines allow the lender-approved surveyor ample time to go around the property, do their checks, and provide preliminary input to enable the lender to make an informed decision about its mortgageability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A mortgage valuation may indicate the necessity for additional surveys, such as damp, structural, or drainage surveys, which are excellent indications of the state of a property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mortgage valuation, similar to but not the same as a building survey, helps establish whether a property has a fair market value<\/a>. It also advises the lender of any serious problems and\/or required repairs that may damage the property’s value as collateral for a proposed loan.
