The buyer can negotiate a lower price and still need the official value to reach the announced threshold. The Land Registry, bank evidence, DAB and certificate route must agree on the same Residence.
What changes the buyer's decision?
A universal appraisal claim can overstate the ordinary purchase file. A listing-price claim can overpromise citizenship. Both should be corrected before publication.
State which file you are building: ordinary purchase, foreign-buyer transaction scope or citizenship. Then request the correct value evidence.
Evidence and checklist
| Buyer moment | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial price | Buyer and seller agree | Useful for negotiation and payment plan. |
| Official value | Appraisal or TTB | Used where transaction or citizenship file requires it. |
| Citizenship | Threshold evidence | Official value route and payment evidence decide. |
| Ordinary purchase | Scope must be checked | Do not overstate universal appraisal language. |
| Content rule | Caveat required | Value is settled by licensed appraiser or authority route. |
How to use this in your shortlist
Start with your goal, budget and timing, then test one Project, one Residence and one Offer against the rule above. If evidence is missing, keep the gap visible instead of replacing it with a claim.
