Questions About Pre-Purchase Assessments
No. A lender's appraisal is ordered by the lender to support its financing decision. A pre-purchase assessment is ordered by you, for your own information and negotiation.
No. An appraisal develops an opinion of value; a home inspection evaluates condition and identifies defects. They answer different questions, and many buyers choose to have both.
Most buyers order during their due-diligence or contingency period, so the information is available while there is still room to negotiate or reconsider.
