- Determines the market value of the property you wish to purchase, ensuring the loan amount is appropriate.
- Assesses the property’s condition, confirming it meets the VA’s Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs) for safety and livability.
- Protects your investment by identifying any significant issues that may affect the property’s value or your quality of life.
Additional Information
- The fees listed are specific to VA loans and are separate from any home inspection fees. We highly recommend obtaining a home inspection in addition to the VA appraisal for a comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition.
- VA appraisal fees are subject to change. Always confirm the current rates with your VA-approved lender during the loan application process.
