If you’re buying a new home, you might not be able to contact a valuer directly.
Why?
Many lenders use valuation ordering services like Valocity or CoreLogic to confirm your property’s market value before approving your mortgage.
Some banks also have a preferred valuer panel, which means you must choose from their approved list.
✅ Before you book a valuation, check:
✓ Can you choose your own valuer?
✓ Do you need to use a bank-approved valuer?
✓ Will your lender randomly assign one through a valuation service?
💡 A great mortgage broker can guide you through this and save you last-minute headaches (and urgency fees).
Have you ever been told you needed a valuation at the last minute? Or been caught out by the rules?
