The Appraisal fee charged for inspecting the property which is to be sold. The appraisal is usually carried out by a third party providing services to the buyer. Before buying any property it is mandatory to get its worth estimated and documented.

The appraisal fee can vary in accordance with the following factors:

The type of property i.e. single family or duplex etc.
Whether the property is owner occupied
Rental income if any
Whether under construction

The appraiser must be certified and must first make sure that the property is licensed and registered. The property along with the articles to be sold must be inspected and value should be judged. An investment property is valued at both the rent and the operating costs involved. The current market costs are considered. An undeveloped property requires appraisal before and after completion. All these involve extra costs that never exceed $500.
