Got my lender valuations back and it is 10% less than my offer. Frankly I am dumbfounded, as my offer was asking price, and I actually think the house is worth more than asking given market comps.
I assume trying to persuade my lender (HSBC) that their valuation is miles off is not going to work, so what are my options? Anyone have experience of lenders who take a different view of valuations?
My last two moves I have gotten a mortgage through Coventry for intermediaries and on neither occasion have they done an in-person valuation. To be honest the valuation was never even mentioned - Might be worth a look.
