Can I use an appraisal to get homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about. </p></div>

Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </p></div>
