    Hi Wot a life,

    When the O.R asks for a valuation on a house they're looking for a valuation that would result in a sale within a reasonable period of time, should the house ever need to be sold. Consequently, a valuation isn't based on what people in your area are asking for their houses; it's the price they're being sold for that's relevant.

    Have you tried the following website for a valuation? These are the actual prices houses sold for.

    http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices

    Have you managed to discuss the subject of bankruptcy with your O.H yet?

    Regards

    Richard

    The house opposite is very nice, very expensive kitchen with extension, consevatory, block paved drive, 4 bedrooms, garage, decor to the highest standard, you know the type I mean, just move in and do nothing for a number of years because it's all been done!

    Thanks for that link Richard, I'll have a look now

    Oh my God Richard, that site is telling me that the average house price in my street is 140k!

    Is that the sort of thing the OR will look at?

    I wish it was that easy!

    Wot a life,

    You are due a lucky break at some point, and that could well be it.

    For absolutely certain the O.R does use sites like that, because that's the site that one of the O.R's valuers mentioned when we had a valuation; one of five I might add.:D

    The only other part of the equation will be your household income and expenditure. It doesn't need to be exact if you don't have all the figures to hand; best estimates will be o.k.

    If anything else occurs to me I'll post again.
