All Things Appraisals – Insuring to Value

Article Summary:
An insurance appraisal provides an estimate of the total replacement cost (Total Insurable Value - TIV) for a property in the event of a total loss. Condo Corporations have a fiduciary duty to insure to full replacement cost as per the Ontario Condo Act. The appraisal involves a thorough inspection of the property, using a cost approach to determine accurate rebuild costs, considering building codes and bylaws, and factoring in demolition and debris removal costs. Having an up-to-date appraisal ensures adequate insurance coverage, accurate premiums, compliance with regulations, and may enhance the property's appeal to insurers.
