Points to be remembered by a panel valuer in general :

1. While advancing loan to any borrower, the bank is relying on the legal opinion of its panel advocate and the valuation report of its panel valuer.

2. The bank has more confidence with you as its panel valuer and trusting fully the value certified by you, the bank advances the loan to the borrower. It is the public money.

3. Value varies with purpose. Bank advances loan to its borrowers for many purposes. Never proceed with any valuation without knowing the exact purpose.

4. Perusal of legal opinion is always advisable in order to ascertain the exact scope of valuation.

5. Doing desktop valuation is not expected from a professional panel valuer.

6. Don’t yield to any pressure either from the borrower or from the bank side.

7. Always do a FAIR valuation for the said purpose.

8. When the borrower becomes a defaulter and when the bank is unable to auction the property for the value you have certified, you will be questioned if your valuation is proved wrong.

9. It is important to safeguard the interest of the bank (against any default) and also your own interest.

10. Your report should be self-explanatory which can be defended.
