Trying to do my DD like a good investor - given actually been given a decent headsup.
Soooooo buildings and land bought at £530k at auction - but borrower has sub sold most of the land and just the buildings and 6 acres of land are still worth £525k. Is this wishful valuation again? Any thoughts

Very likely. It's all done with FS's full knowledge to ensure the borrower can have 100%+ of what he paid, or the real value.
If FS acted as a pawn lender (which they do, even with property development in which they have little or no expertise) ) but with its own money, they would do their own valuations and they would be far more realistic.
This applies (probably) to all platforms, not just FS. As a rule of thumb, deduct 25% from most valuations and you will be close (in most cases) to reality.
Only my insignificant opinion, of course.

Have just emailed the agents to seek assurance.
Surely if the ~21 acres sold must reduce the residual by £100k+ !!?

From page 5 of glossy auction brochure pdf: Bedroom 2: [...] ceiling partially collapsed Family Bathroom: [...] ceiling partially collapsed Also note the family bathroom is approached through bedroom 4. No mention of a shower. So not immediately liveable in may be a fair conclusion. As oldgrumpy has already implied, firesale value in current condition is very likely to be a lot lower than the £525k stated (irrespective of the deduction or lack thereof for the missing land) FWIW: my assumption is the auction price for the LOT 1 is being assumed as a distressed sale value (i.e. well below OMV), and the £525k is the estimated OMV for the reduced land size (i.e. already reflects the reduction from what the LOT 1 OMV would have been) |

Well it's OK they have a very official email from an MRICS associate so it must be true! Starting to think ozboy was right all along  |

I can see this loan funding very quickly as agent valuation seems very logical considering the area is full of activity for future developments!

Puzzled at where FS get the £530k from? According to the auction site the sale price was £740k, if we assume that this included the extra land at £140k, that would be £600k (but its not clear that it does include the £140k) Have FS already deducted the forward sale of the attached land when quoting the auction price?
Edit Its a sale by the local council as part of a disposal of non-core assets so not a particularly distressed sale and its politically controversial so would expect them to have tried to achieve a reasonable price around OMV.

Peeps are not interested in the research only in the 13% return

1 hr & 10 mins to go. This loan will be funded in minutes so surprised there's no limit set by FS.

In fact, I can't remember a loan of this size without bonuses. If it does get swallowed up quickly, then we need more loans, otherwise FS might start reducing lender rates.
