I think they are an incredibly BAD idea. And will cost a fortune. They

Most of the reports are not expensive, and can be got on line for a
small fee. The expensive one is the survayors one, where he writes a
load of words, but says noting, cause hs words it in that way. s/he
may then recommend a dozen or more reports, and now you are really
spending money.

I can't see the banks trusting a valuation form anybody they don't
appoint.
