General Angela Calla 15 Mar

Tip of the Week

The price is right, but the home needs a little TLC. That’s what Purchase Plus Improvements is for!

An appraisal outlining the current “as is” value and the “improved” value may be required. This often means a detailed list of improvements, including copies of the contracts outlining the scope of work & cost estimates.

If approved, then the full committed mortgage amount will be advanced to the solicitor at closing with instructions to hold back the cost of improvements until inspection by an approved appraiser confirms all work has been completed.
