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>

How do you calculate real estate development costs?

• <div><p>You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development. </p></div>

Q: Will landscaping increase my property value?

• <div><p>Yes,<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smart-landscaping-tips-can-increase-home-value.htm"> landscaping can boost your home value</a> by up to 30%. A well-manicured lawn, upgraded walkways with lush plants, and thoughtful lighting all add instant charm and curb appeal. Just revamping your front walkway alone offers a 100% return on investment (ROI) while a pristine lawn can deliver an impressive 217% ROI. Fixing up your home with a few thoughtful design options is a smart, &ldquo;groundbreaking&rdquo; way to make your property stand out and reap the rewards when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for an appraisal?

• <div><p>Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.</p></div>
