    If a property doesn't have a kitchen or bathroom then from a valuation perspective it will be deemed "uninhabitable" and not fit for a valuation.

    You will need to use a lender that has a contract of sale (COS) valuation policy - theoretically you can go up to 95% on COS policy however it will be dependent on a number of factors such as purchase/refinance, LVR, location and loan amount.

    Westpac and St George have a valuation tool that will tell you upfront what sort of valuation they will require for the property. This could be possible even at 95% LVR.

    CBA's COS policy is max $800k loan amount, max 80% LVR, the property must be a standard residential house or unit in a metro area and cannot be a vacant land or specialised security or non arm's length.

    ANZ's policy is anything under a $1mil at 80% will be COS and up to 90% LVR the loan amount must be under $750k

    Couple of other lenders like TMB will do COS at 80% LVR provided the loan amount is $1.5mil and in a metro area.

    Are you saying for the lending just to do a desktop valuation?
