In today's show, we're demystifying the bank valuation process.

Why do banks do valuations? How do they work? What happens if the valuation comes back lower than the purchase price?

Andrew Wheatley, owner of Wheatley Finance, joins us today to answer these questions and to share his insights on the risks of working with banks, valuing off plan property, protecting yourself from settlement risks, and more!
