An insurance appraisal provides an estimate of total replacement cost for a property in the event of a total loss. We call this the Total Insurable Value (TIV) and it is used for placing property insurance.

Four Reasons You Need an
Annual Insurance Appraisal
Four Reasons You Need an
Annual Insurance Appraisal
Sufficient Insurance Coverage
An annual insurance appraisal ensures that you have sufficient insurance covered in the case of a total loss. Click here to read about a 2019 fire in Chilliwack, British Columbia – a worst-case example of what can happen when you are underinsured.
Avoid Overpayment on Premiums
An appraisal completed by an accredited appraiser ensures you are only paying for the insurance you need and no more. Without one, you may be carrying excessive replacement costs, and as a result paying, too much for insurance.
Avoid Co-insurance
When a property does not have a current appraisal, it may be subject to a co-insurance clause that requires the owners to self insure a percentage of the replacement cost.
Fulfill Fiduciary Duty
An up-to-date appraisal ensures that council or board members are complying with their provincial Strata or Condo Acts, which mandate that the board insure the property for a value equal to total replacement cost. Only a professional appraiser can determine the correct replacement value.
