Technical Valuation team carries out Technical Verification of Property. Prior to granting a loan to a lender, the Valuation team physically examines the commercial capability of the property. They Physically examine the property, the condition of the property, value for which the property could be sold, the market rate and the area where the property is situated. This is done to ensure that the bank is able to recover the loan, by selling off the property in an open market, in case there is a default by the lender. For example: If the property is worth Rs. 50 Lakh in the open market, the Bank will be willing to give a loan to the lender for around Rs. 50 Lakhs only. Thus even though the lender fails to repay the loan, the Bank can sell off the property to recover the money. In such a case the Bank won’t fund 70-80 Lakhs for the same piece as it will be next to impossible for them to recover that money.
You should always before buying property check the title and other information regarding the property. With all states now having their own websites and facilities to check property details online, it is easier to assess the ownership of the property.
