Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are finalizing a real estate transaction may need to submit an appraisal affidavit to their lender. This document serves as a formal declaration of the property's value, ensuring that the financing institution has accurate information before approving the mortgage.
  • Situations requiring compliance with lender requirements often necessitate the use of an appraisal affidavit. By providing a sworn statement regarding the appraisal, buyers can facilitate the closing process and meet the necessary legal standards set by financial institutions.
  • For those involved in refinancing their property, an appraisal affidavit can be crucial. This document reassures lenders of the property's current market value, which is essential for determining the terms of the new loan.
  • Real estate agents may advise sellers to prepare an appraisal affidavit to enhance their negotiating position. By presenting a formal appraisal, sellers can substantiate their asking price and build trust with potential buyers.
  • In cases where a property is being transferred between family members, an appraisal affidavit might be required to establish fair market value. This helps in ensuring that the transaction is transparent and compliant with tax regulations.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the property value is being contested in a legal dispute. In such cases, a more comprehensive appraisal report may be necessary to support claims in court.
  • – If the transaction does not involve financing, such as a cash sale, an appraisal affidavit may not be required. Buyers and sellers can negotiate terms without the need for this formal documentation.
  • – In situations where the appraisal is outdated or no longer reflects the current market conditions, using an appraisal affidavit based on that information would be inappropriate. A new appraisal should be conducted to ensure accuracy.
  • – This form should not be used for properties that do not require an appraisal, such as personal property or items outside the realm of real estate transactions.
  • – If the appraiser is not licensed or qualified to perform appraisals in Virginia, the affidavit would not hold legal weight and should not be used.
