Property Valuation
Completed Properties
  1. For all completed properties taken as collateral for new or additional facilities, a full valuation report by a panel valuer must be taken.
  2. The cost of this report is to be borne by the customer, unless customer opts for free moving cost package. Where customer is insistent on not paying the valuation cost, the recommendation for waiver should be sent to Head, retail banking or his deligate. Approval for waiver of cost does not constitute waiver of requirement for a full valuation report.
  3. Valuation is also required for completed properties purchased directly from developers. Where a full valuation has already been carried out earlier by a bank panel valuer on an identical type of home (under the same project) that is currently end-financed by the Bank, a copy of that report may be attached to the credit file and the requirement for a valuation may be waived through Exceptional Approval.
