The other option is to negotiate a deferred settlement of more than 6 months. This way, the bank may well insist on a new valuation, as the old one is stale and risky.
Ass long as the valuer still puts the property at $1M (even better, get prior access, renovate and get it valued at MORE than $1M), then you go to the bank and borrow the $full $800K purchase price to settle with
CAVEAT: Make sure you can still settle if the value drops!!! Do not make a 100% locked in gamble on the future value of the property unless you have a viable plan B. If you have no other funds to cover any shortfall, then at best you can kiss your deposit goodbye.

Hi Robin,
I'm not sure your deferred settlement helps.
The bank will still only lend on the settlement figure.
So if you settle next March and pay $800,000, the bank would only lend 60-90% of the $800,000 paid. You would then have to wait another 6 months after settlement, to look at re-valuing and pulling equity out.

If not, how much scrutiny do you want your next mortgage application to be under, and how much do you want the bank fee to be?
Fraud is fraud. This particular case was premeditated and deliberate.
