Advantages of an appraisal report
An appraisal that is regulary brought up-to-date (approximately every 3 to 4 years) simplifies the burden of proof and thus the discussion afterwards in case of a damage. Well made appraisals have to be considered as binding for damage settlements. A regulary brought up-to-date report also prevents the risk of being over- or under-insured.
