Appraisal

An appraisal is an estimate of the value of an item of property which is based on strict criteria. Appraisals are usually created by appraisers - experts with a thorough understanding of a specific market.

An appraisal of a piece of real estate may be required for mortgage applications because it provides a realistic estimate of a property’s collateral value.

Insurance providers which provide household insurance or valauables insurance may require appraisals of personal property in order to determine the true value of the items to be insured.
