Local Authority Home Loan Valuations in Dublin and Leinster

Valuation reports prepared to local authority requirements, for Local Authority Home Loans, Purchase and Renovation Loans, and council housing schemes.

What is a local authority valuation?

State-backed lending schemes administered through local authorities have their own valuation requirements, and they are not always the same as a bank's. The Local Authority Home Loan and the Local Authority Purchase and Renovation Loan both require valuation reports in a prescribed format, and renovation lending typically requires more than one, a value before works and a projected value after them.

Getting the form or the basis wrong here is a costly mistake, because it usually means starting the loan assessment again.

  • Local Authority Home Loan applications
  • Local Authority Purchase and Renovation Loan applications, including pre- and post-works valuations
  • Vacant and derelict property grant schemes where a valuation is required
  • Tenant purchase and affordable purchase schemes
  • Local authority property acquisitions and disposals

Why the format matters

Local authority schemes are administered to defined rules. The valuation must be on the correct form, on the correct basis, and signed by a valuer with the required accreditation. Send us the scheme details and any form the council has issued, and we will work to what they have asked for.
