    You are entitled to get your own valuation. It'll cost around £500 plus VAT. You could then challenge the LA although any negotiation between valuers may a) delay matters and b) cost you even more.

    Why did you go to HSBC? They are notoriously picky and a ccj was always going to be a complication

    Did you go through a broker?

    I hope not, nothing personal. If you cant afford a mortgage why saddle yourself with debt you clearly can't afford?

    b) any appeal process within the right to buy process to challenge it (if possible)

    You're getting a whack off great discount of £100,000 and you want to challenge the valuation? Wow.
