Shared Ownwership - End of a 3 year fixed

Options
I own a 50% of a shared ownership property. I am coming to the end of my 3 year fixed rate & have been told that I need to get 3 valuations of the property from 3 seperate estate agents. I have then heard that a mortage valuation is alot different from an estate agent valuation.

I am very confused

    Yet more dodgy conditions for shared ownership.

    Have you read the small print of your docs to check this.

    Why?

    What did you agree to?

    What does the valuation effect?

    Yawn, yet more whinging about these schemes.

    We had a shared-ownership property and when we re-mortgaged there was no such condition, we just went with the standard valuation.

    When we sold, it was valued by one independent valuer of our choice, not multiples. Every scheme differs I suppose, but I'd challenge this.
  • Thanks. My mortage adviser has told me I need the 3 valuations before he can look for a new rate of mortage for me.

    Are you looking to take on a bigger share or a bigger mortgage?

    Looks like it is your mortgage advisor being a bit carefull about assessing LTV


    What follow on rate has your current deal moved onto there may be no need to do anything if it is a good rate.
