Bail Applications
In cases where one may need their property to be used as security for the release of an individual on bail, a valuation is required to confirm how much the property is worth.
The property may be that of the accused or could be the property of a family member or friend. In either case, this person is called the ‘surety’ and they agree to pay or forfeit an amount of money or property if the accused does not turn up to court when required.
The surety needs to demonstrate that the relevant equity in that property exists after accounting for mortgages and other debts so it is usually necessary to provide a copy of the title deed and a recent mortgage statement, in addition to the property valuation.
