It means that a loan that is available for investment, and if it is fully funded, it is subject to a final assessment prior to funds being released to the borrower.
This is done mainly for two reasons:
Until a formal valuation is undertaken, external estimated values will be used, such as estate agent appraisals, and will be the initial value displayed on the Loan Information page. If the value of the formal valuation falls below the initial value range, then the borrower will not get the loan and all funds will be immediately returned to investors.
Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose money. This is a high-risk investment. You may not be able to access your money easily and are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 mins to learn more.
