Appraisal for Insurance Purposes
Our valuation services for insurance purposes consist of a report establishing the replacement cost of the building and its land improvements. This report also suggests the excavation costs and insurance trustee fees to be considered in the event of a claim. Clients are thus well-equipped to determine the necessary insurance premiums and avoid inadequate protection or unnecessary overprotection.
Objectives and advantages of the appraisal report for insurance purposes
- Allows you to determine the fair coverage by taking into account the expenses to be incurred in the event of a major claim.
- Being able to rebuild in accordance with the then current standards without the worry of funds availability
- Helps you demonstrate to the co-owners that their condo board is responsibly managing the insurance coverage for the building.
- Makes it faster and easier to settle with the insurer in the event of a claim.
- Determine whether the building still complies with municipal zoning regulations.
- Draw up a physical (technical) description of the building.
