Common questions.

What's the difference between market value and replacement cost?

Market value is the estimated price a facility would sell for on the open market between a willing buyer and seller. Replacement cost is what it would cost to rebuild the facility today — the figure insurers use. CSSVS provides both, depending on your purpose.

Which format does my lender need?

Most institutional lenders require a comprehensive narrative report. Some portfolio or renewal situations accept a concise form report — we'll confirm the right format with your lender before starting.

How long does an appraisal take?

Most appraisals are completed within two to three weeks of a site inspection, depending on report complexity and data availability.

Can a report be relied on by a second lender or partner?

Yes. We can issue a reliance letter extending the report to additional named parties.
