Anglo Irish Bank has confirmed that it gave property loans to developers without any valuation report whatsoever in some cases. In "exceptional circumstances" the bank's credit committee approved loans without the valuations, the bank told the Sunday Tribune. When asked if this was done for larger customers or where due diligence and finance had to be completed quickly, the bank said it could not elaborate on what constituted "exceptional circumstances".
Meanwhile, the Nama valuation for loans for Irish development is coming in significantly below expectations, with one source in the process saying they were coming in at 15c in the euro for debt on land in south Dublin. The valuations have cause consternation in the banks and Bank of Ireland has objected to 40% of the valuations undertaken in recent weeks by experts working for Nama, leading industry sources told the Sunday Tribune. The new valuations of properties heading into the government agency are lower than the bank's own surveys based on valuations that took place as recently as late last year.
Now they want to argue over the values of this junk.
