How can I find out more about the valuation?
Click on your client’s case . Scroll down the screen to the Valuation section, like so:
Within the Valuation section, you’ll see the following:
- Track valuation: this section shows a summary of the valuation activity for example allocated to a panel firm, booked, instruction sent to a panel firm, the firm is trying to book a surveyor, the instruction is on hold, the instruction has been cancelled or the valuation is completed.
- Requested date: when the valuation was requested
- Received date: when we received the completed valuation report
- Valuation amount: the valuation of the property following the surveyor’s assessment. This is the valuation prior to underwriting and is subject to change
- After works valuation amount: this is the property value following any work done to the property such as essential repairs identified by the surveyor. This is the property value that we will base our lending on
Some of these dates may be blank until the task has been completed, for example received date and valuation amount will only show information when the valuation report has been returned.
The Section Status will show as INCOMPLETE until the valuation report is returned and all valuation information is shown within this valuation section. It is at this point that the Section Status shows COMPLETE.
Where can I find the valuation report?
Once the valuation is completed, the valuation report can be viewed by clicking on Upload Supporting Documentation, which is just above the Valuation section on the Application dashboard, under actions:
