What got me most mad about it was not the value itself, but his reasoning behind it.

I don't think Westpac have a policy of instructing valuers to under-value property either!

So why the big difference in value then?$30,000 is a lot when they are only putting a value of $245,000 on the property wouldn't you think.

Could you recommend any institutions that charge a fee instead of LMI? I haven't heard of any..Just a little more info, the property I own I still owe 182k which gives me $26,250 ( (245k x 85%) – 182k) or $38,000 ( (275k x 80%) – 182k) in redraw respectively between Westpac or NAB as in my previous post.Could anyone recommend…[Read more]

I really like the area too, my block is only a few minutes walk from the beach. I hope to build a holiday house there one day, great place to relax and go fishing. I haven't heard anything about the…[Read more]

I will definately be looking closely at changing the loan to be IO.Simon you are right, my next purchase could be a PPOP, so in that case won't pay down the IPs. However if I was certain that my next purchase was going to be another IP or possibly some shares, would it be in my benefit to reduce the…[Read more]

If you throw this into the calculation my LVR would become about 79% so maybe I could just squeeze in for a line of credit loan. I will have to investigate this further as you said.However the…[Read more]
