Hi, im in the middle of sorting legal stuff to do with separation.... and dividing our investment properties. what a pain! the ex has made me an offer but i havent accepted until I know its a good deal and had advice from my solicitor and mortgage broker so I can be sure of refinancing etc. basically I had an appraisal from the real estate agent who manages the property.. and its come out $70,000 more than what we paid for it less than 2 years ago.. (without telling them why i wanted the figure) however, how close is the appraisal from real estate agent, to what a valuer would put on it..? Im also wondering if the ex has to know this new higher figure as that may make him rescind the offer.. but i guess this isnt the right forum for that question.. any advice greatfully accepted.
