The appraisal fees are payments made to those evaluating the value/worth of any property or home. These are fees for estimation of the property value. They are also paid in the form of appraisal costs by businesses and entities for quality control, i.e. ensuring thorough analyses of their products, services, and processes, making sure that they adhere to all regulatory and consumer safety guidelines. These include fees paid for field or onsite inspections, along with other accompanying work.
Appraisers are paid this fee to estimate market values of properties. The fees are mostly paid by buyers, unless they strike an agreement with sellers to pay the same. Appraisers are also paid this fee by home loan borrowers and are appointed by lenders. They calculate the value of the property on which the lender will sanction the mortgage. However, the appraised value may not always be the same as the property’s market value.
