Bank Valuation

    Hi all, hoping for some input/advice.

    My father owns 2 Georgian properties inDublin, which are currently split into. apartments and studios. We are currently updating the units - wiring, plumbing, carpets, furniture, fire proofing, fire system etc.

    We applied for a loan/mortgage from the bank and received an offer letter.

    Obviously, a valuation is required.

    Bank has obtained a quote of €2,000 + VAT for the valuation. This sounds crazy. I was expecting something in the region of €500 max.

    Anyone any ideas why the quote is so high?

    Perhaps they are viewing each apartment and studio as a separate dwelling so they are pricing them individually?

    How many apartments/studios are there?

    18 units in total but the valuation is for the 2 buildings. They are not going to be sold separately, only rented

    Sound like they are valuing them separately.

    Yes it sounds like it but makes no sense to me to do that. I am going to push back on this charge.

    Thanks for your input

    Professional/Commercial valuations are a lot more detailed than one produced for your typical residential mortgage. €2k does not seem unreasonable.
