Under valued survey

£1/2 million under value has to be a bit of a shock!0

They are devastated as they really needed the extra money, in their eyes in one afternoon they have 'lost' half a million pounds, which of course is ridiculous.
Completely agree with you. They never 'had' the money in the first place! If they want more money, I suggest they get a better paid job, or perhaps invest in the stock market, instead trying to propel house prices to some rediculous unaffordable level!
My advice would be to see what local property has actually been selling for, speak to the surveyor and see what his justifications are.
Most EAs are untrained and unregulated, so where they get their barmy valuations from, I dont know. Snakes with t*ts, the lot of them.0 -
Totally agree, the fault is with EA who overvalue just to get the property on their books (put it this way if you have one EA who 'values' your house at £100000 and one who 'values' it at £120000 which are you must likely to put your house on with.?0
