    Oh I see. But would they still do a valuation before making a decision


    Lending is based on:


    Status: Can you afford the lending


    Serviceability: Are you likely to pay


    Security: Value and saleability of the property


    So, yes - there will be some assessment of the property. Although it need not mean a physical visit by a valuer as it is often done by computer.

    Whats a realistic drawdown percentage?

    you could have a property worth £500k and a £10k salary so a % of the property value is irrelevant. The maximum will be based on income andaffordability and the maximum the lender is prepared to lend based on that, which will be a different % of value for most people
