House Valuation

cr1

Hi All,

Once a valuation is completed by an estate agent, does the OR ever contact the estate agent? Only asking as i know someone who works in the estate agent and really dont want them to know about the bankruptcy.

Can anyone advise?

why not use a different estate agents for the valuation?

Or am I missing something here?

As its the same company that sold me house they can do me valuation without visiting house, they still have all measurements / pics etc on file.

Understandable, but if you want to avoid any chance of this person finding out about the bankruptcy you would be well advised to use a different estate agent. There could be any number of reasons for the OR to contact the estate agent - to clarify something, etc - and you would have no control over it.

I had to use three different estate agents and as far as I know, the OR did not contact any of them. I submitted my valuations and I got a figure from the OR just two days later. All three estate agents called to see if I wanted to go with them (with follow up calls) which I don't believe they would do if they knew I was BR.

hi DVS
is your house in equity
do you think the OR will make you sell ?

The OR has offered BI. House is in equity but my share is minimal.

The OR rarely makes you sell and can't force a sale if your share of the equity is less than £1,000. Don't know if that affects you.
