Can I get my own house valuation? I don't agree with IP's valuation.

Get expert opinion. This is the place for new questions to be posted.

Good to hear that they are being receptive -- good luck with the valuation.

Personally I think zoopla is a joke. Our house is valued around 25k more than what I know they are going for & 20k more than similar houses in the street. Also I live in a semi detached & on zoopla there are bigger link detached houses cheaper than mine. CRAZY

Make sure and advise the agent why you wnat the valuation and pay them for the service. A few pounds well spent now would save a full year's IVA payments.

Valuation has just been done and it came in £4k less than the IP valuation, so we're well below the £5k equity with the new valuation. we ended up paying £60 for the valuation, we thought honesty was the best policy and explained to the estate agent why we needed the lower figure - our new figure is realistic though, not grossly undervalued. Just sent the IP the letter .... just waiting on PDHL's reply now!

£60 for a year's less IVA payments sounds money well spent to me. I am sure your IP will take the valuation but if not he/she can instruct [and pay for] a third. However this should not really be necessary as your valuation is for your individual property and not a desk top.

Relief! IP has accepted the quote from my estate agent and done an average of the 2 figures, this equates to just over £3k equity, final payment will be out in September, with one smaller payment for arrears in October then we're done :) :) :)
