Before ordering a report for an inherited Allentown home, ask your attorney or tax adviser which valuation date and intended use to request. Send those instructions with the property address.
If one of you may keep the home, tell us what the report will be used for and who needs to receive it. Include access arrangements and any instructions from your attorney.
A private sale and a lender’s refinance request can call for different instructions. Tell us who needs the report; for a loan, check with your lender before ordering an appraisal yourself.
A home in Old Allentown, Old Fairgrounds or West Park may have a long history. Tell us about additions, renovations and changes in use, and share any records you have. You don’t need to work out the value before you call.
