The Bank requires that you arrange a valuation of the property (or properties) offered as security, carried out by a valuer acceptable to the Bank. You will need to pay the valuation fee direct to the valuer. You need to agree that fee with the valuer (you should expect to pay a fee of €150 to €250 plus VAT but this can vary). If a loan agreement with you is withdrawn, this fee may be refunded. No responsibility is implied or accepted or warranty given by the Bank for the value or condition of the property as outlined in the valuation. The valuation report will remain the property of the Bank and you are entitled to your own copy of the report.
