The VA appraisal addresses value and minimum property requirements; a separate inspection helps a buyer assess condition.
The VA appraisal addresses value and minimum property requirements; a separate inspection helps a buyer assess condition. This guide is educational. The applicable lender, VA or investor rules and the facts of your transaction control the outcome.
A VA appraisal supports the lender's valuation and checks applicable VA Minimum Property Requirements. It does not replace an independent buyer inspection, and it does not promise that future repairs will be unnecessary.
If the appraiser indicates a possible value shortfall during the process, Tidewater can allow relevant market data to be supplied through the designated contact before the appraisal is complete. Ask your lender for the procedure and timelines instead of contacting the appraiser directly about value.
