Hi Team, I am building a small multi unit complex which I will strata upon completion. The loan will be residential vs commercial. The bank ordered a valuation for as if complete and in one line. I understand an in one line valuation can be between a 15-30% discount on the as if complete. I think I could get over the line on an as if complete basis but not in one line. Are banks flexible in their lending policies in regards to what valuation number they use if you have a strong application otherwise on a residential basis?
Short answer is ‘no’.
LVR will be based on the figure the valuer gives.

Thx Terry. Yes the LVR is 80% so will lend 80% of the valuation result. Say the As If Complete result = $2.5mm & the In One Line = $2mm (20% discount). I can get over the line on the 0.8×2.5mm val but probably not the 0.8x2mm val so do you think banks would weigh it up and confirm unconditional approval or is it a hard rule that in one line val must be used for construction of multi units on one title even though you will strata?
Unless you are offering additional security the loan will be based off 80% of the $2M.
Cheers

Selling 3 on one title is much better than selling 3 on separate titles, hence the discount.

If they used proposed end values post strata (GRV) – they would generally only lend 65% of the amount in commercial so you’d be worse off than this being financed resi @ 80% of the lower val.

Some resi lenders use “in line” and some use “end values” so the key is selecting the right lender to minimise the cash injection required. Small lot savvy brokers will know who is who in the zoo.
Less are going the “end value” route and more the “in line” method in my experience of late as the later presents less risk to the lender.
