How to compare quotes for appraisal

The gap between the highest and lowest quote for appraisal in Norfolk is usually explained by exclusions, not by one provider being cheaper. Put every quote against the same written scope before you decide.

Timing your appraisal

Scheduling matters as much as the quote for appraisal. Emergency and same-week work carries a premium, while a planned slot booked ahead usually lands closer to the middle of the range.

What moves the price of appraisal

Scope is the biggest lever on appraisal pricing. Ask what is included and what is not, then compare the same job across providers. A wider scope at a lower rate can still cost more than a narrow scope at a higher one.
