Standard or professional valuation Explained


This term, standard or professional valuation, refers to the valuation that is conducted by the mortgage lender, or rather on their behalf.

This is because the mortgage lender needs to have an idea of what a property is worth in order to be able to know whether they can offer you a mortgage on it under their standard risk procedure: they need to be able to assess the fair market valuation of the property and the security that it offers them.
