Hi fresher

now that you have declared BR the OR will dictate the house sale or you purchasing back the beneficial interest

The OR will initially take the valuation submitted on your bankruptcy petition, then either obtain a desk top valuation or obtain a RICS valuation

This will not normally be until 3 - 4 months after declaring BR

your estate agent valuation will only be required if you intend to challenge the valuation given by the OR.

If the IPA is crippling you the ask the OR how they obtained the figure, state that you are struggling to make ends meet they may or may not review your I & E

Hi Fresher

I wouldn't tell the estate agent the reason you want the valuation as some agents may charge a fee if you don't intend selling the house - or at least that's what their terms and conditions say - you could tell him that you are looking at options, and would want a quick sale, so would be looking for a more attractive selling price - or something along those lines
