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>

Can you negotiate an as-is purchase?

• <div><p>You may be able to negotiate an as-is purchase, but many sellers who list their homes as-is aren’t willing to lower their asking price since they’ve already accounted for the price of repairs. Homes are often listed as-is for a quick sale, so there’s a chance a seller may negotiate in order to make the sale—it never hurts to ask. </p></div>

Does artificial grass add value to a house?

• <div><p>Artificial grass can add value to your home, particularly in drought-prone areas where traditional lawns are difficult to maintain. Artificial grass averages between <b>$3 and $11 per square foot, </b>and most homeowners see a return on their initial investment for artificial grass installation.</p></div>

Q: What causes the cost of homeowners insurance to increase?

• <div><p>Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any &ldquo;attractive nuisances&rdquo;&mdash;features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury&mdash;like a pool or treehouse. </p></div>

Q: Does a seller have to disclose fire damage when selling a house?

• <div><p>Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage. </p></div>
