Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are finalizing a real estate purchase may need to provide an appraisal affidavit to their lender. This document serves as a formal declaration of the property's value, which is crucial for securing financing.
  • Situations requiring a legal verification of property value often call for an appraisal affidavit. This is particularly important when a buyer is applying for a mortgage and the lender needs assurance of the property's worth.
  • To comply with state regulations, sellers may be required to submit an appraisal affidavit during the closing process. This ensures that all parties involved have an accurate understanding of the property's valuation.
  • For those involved in a real estate transaction, an appraisal affidavit can help expedite the closing process. By providing a sworn statement of the appraisal, it reduces the need for additional documentation and speeds up lender approvals.
  • Lenders may request an appraisal affidavit to confirm the accuracy of an appraisal report. This document acts as a safeguard against discrepancies and provides a legally binding statement of the property's assessed value.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the property in question is not being financed. If the transaction is a cash sale, an appraisal affidavit may not be necessary.
  • – In cases where the appraisal value is disputed, using an affidavit may not be suitable. Disputes should be resolved through negotiation or legal channels rather than relying on a sworn statement.
  • – If the appraisal was conducted by an unlicensed appraiser, the affidavit should not be used. Only affidavits signed by certified appraisers are considered valid in legal and financial contexts.
  • – For transactions involving properties outside of South Carolina, this form is not applicable. Each state has its own requirements and forms for appraisal affidavits.
  • – When the appraisal is outdated or no longer reflects the current market conditions, using an affidavit based on that appraisal would be inappropriate. An updated appraisal should be obtained instead.
