Heres how to prepare for the valuation When you refinance to try and get a better deal on your home loan, the lender youre applying with will arrange a valuation to estimate what your property is worth.

Here are our top four tips for getting ready. 1. Spring clean! Whether you do it yourself, or hire professional cleaners and landscapers, make sure your houses interior and exterior are looking spick and span. 2.

Local community developments: Provide a second list of any exciting nearby community developments underway, such as a public transport hub or a you-beaut bike path. 4. Prepare your documentation: If you have a copy of your building plans, make them available to the valuer. Also have ready info on council rates notices and/or land tax valuations.
