Valuation and Inspection Fees

The property is the lender's security.

For new loans, a valuation report of your property will be required from an independent valuer. If you are building, inspection reports will also be required at various stages of construction.

The valuation is undertaken by a professional valuer who takes into account aspects of the property's worth, especially construction, location, comparable prices in the area and improvements.

These reports will be held for the term of the loan and the costs involved in obtaining them must be paid prior to the processing of your loan application.

For existing loans, your loan consultant will advise you of the requirement for a valuation.

Valuation Fee	Approx. $220 per valuation.
Inspection Fee	Approx. $75 per inspection.

The amount of the fee varies according to the amount borrowed and the valuation of the secured property.
