    Rare to find a mainstream that would do that on purchase- although maybe possible if manage to mortgage on lower pp figure , then remtg on higher. Although self cert ( and usage) might also be issues ??

    I have heard of some bridging firms allowing this - albeit not cheap initially !

    No disputing your valuation - but in most cases that people think they have purchased below value , they have not!- especially if it was on open market
