The job

What refinance appraisal usually includes

  • For the loan: an appraiser selected by your lender or its appraisal management company
  • For a private check: a written intended use such as equity planning, not a loan decision
  • An interior and exterior inspection with notes on updates and condition
  • Recent comparable sales in your neighborhood with adjustments
  • A written USPAP report with the appraiser's license number and level
  • A clear effective date so you know how current the value is
Price

What drives the cost of refinance appraisal in Richmond

  • Loan appraisal fees are set through your lender and shown on your loan estimate
  • For a private appraisal: property type, one unit or two to four units
  • Report type: full written report or a shorter restricted report
  • Size, updates and unusual features that need more support
  • Few recent comparable sales nearby
  • Rush turnaround
  • The age of the home: the typical Richmond home was built around 1980, so original parts may be near the end of their life

Before you hire in Richmond

Pre-war construction

25% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1980 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Richmond building department before work starts.

How to compare refinance appraisal quotes

  • Ask your lender whether an appraisal is required and when it will be ordered.
  • For PMI removal, ask your servicer how it requires value to be documented.
  • If you want a private value check, say it is for planning and verify the license on LARA.
  • Give the appraiser a list of updates with dates, such as roof, furnace or kitchen.
  • Compare turnaround and report type across quotes.

Refinance Appraisal in Richmond: FAQ

No. Your lender or its appraisal management company chooses the appraiser. You can share information about updates and recent sales through your lender.
Generally no. Appraiser independence rules bar lenders from using reports from appraisers the borrower selected or paid. A private appraisal is for your own planning.
If you request early cancellation, your servicer can ask for evidence that the value has not declined, which may be an appraisal. Ask the servicer for its process first.
