Reasons and Owners of Appraisals
Reasons for an Appraisal Appraisals are normally ordered when
you are obtaining a loan on a property. However, there are many
other reasons why you might want an appraisal.
To dispute your property taxes To establish the replacement cost
for insurance purposes To settle a divorce To settle an estate
To buy out a partner To help negotiate a purchase price either
as a buyer or as a seller To satisfy the IRS To settle a lawsuit
To protect your rights in a condemnation case
Who owns the appraisal? In almost every case the appraisal is
owned by your mortgage company, even though you may have paid
for it. This is because your mortgage company orders the
appraisal on your behalf, and the appraiser lists that mortgage
company on the appraisal report. Even though the mortgage
company owns the appraisal, you have the right to receive a
copy. It is at the mortgage company's discretion whether to give
you the original appraisal. What if I decide to use another
mortgage company after the appraisal has been completed?
This does not necessarily mean you will have to pay for another
appraisal. Your first lender can transfer the appraisal to your
new lender. Some appraisal firms may charge a small fee,
however, because there is clerical work involved in editing the
appraisal to reflect the new mortgage company. This fee is
called an "Appraisal Retype Fee." The original mortgage company
has the right to refuse to transfer the appraisal to another
lender. In this event, you will need to get a new appraisal.
