We are currently in the prelimenary process of arranging a construction loan for our KDR and it's currently pending valuation. its a 658m2 block, only reference I've used is the Valuer General of NSW. The suburb sales demand have been for a lot of KDR due to the size of the blocks and it's proximity to more highly desirable suburbs. Sale listings are mostly between $750-$850k for mid 1960's 2-3 bedroom houses sitting on 650m2 - 700m2 blocks thanks for your feedback! The valuer generals report won't help a bit, that isn't anything like the sales value - thank goodness!! when did you buy the land? If recent, it will probably be the land + construction cost cross checked against the comparable sales in area, if it is not recent then they will simply compare it to the other like properties - similar land size, attributes etc and adjust for age / finish.

Anyways apologies if I was a bit vague in explaining our situation. We currently have an investment property purchased 10 years ago which we would like to knock down rebuild and make it potentially our forever house. The property is mortgaged with BANK A but we'd like to refinance the KDR and existing mortgage to BANK B. For us to achieve this I think it hinges on how much the value of the land is and not so much the building sitting on it because it will be replaced by our planned build. Am I correct? Re: Valuation for construction 7Feb 22, 2021 1:18 pm In essence - yes, but in fact they will look for "like" houses to compare to it...

For us to achieve this I think it hinges on how much the value of the land is and not so much the building sitting on it because it will be replaced by our planned build. Am I correct? Yes. Any new valuation going forward will be determined by current land value plus the new construction. Then it will be compared with current existing residences in the area to make sure its comparable. Since you have owned the land for over 10 years, you would think that the land value shouldn't be an issue as you would assume it would have increased a fair bit in that time frame. To get an idea, what you can do is to get a full valuation done on the existing property. With it you will get a valuation comprising individual land value and improvements (existing dwelling). It will at least give you an idea on what the existing land value may be with before you dip you toe in the water and proceed further. Cheers, Tom because its not being managed properly.
