Mortgage lending requirements: The appraisal and home inspection

Appraisals are almost always required when you purchase or refinance a home with a loan or when you apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit. Mortgage lenders require these professional evaluations of fair market value to ensure the property is valid collateral and that the loan does not exceed the home's worth.

Home inspections are not normally required by a mortgage lender, they are mainly for the buyer to evaluate the condition of the property. Although inspections are not a requirement of the lender, skipping this process can be risky. Home inspections reveal hidden issues, help the buyer negotiate repairs or price and can save the buyer thousands of dollars in future repairs.

Learn the key differences between home appraisals and inspections to navigate the homebuying process with confidence. Get expert insights here!
