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>

Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.</p></div>
