Overview
Appraisal Fee (AF) usually ranges from Php 3,500 to Php 5,500. This is paid to the banks to estimate the value of the property. They will base the value on the location, size, materials used, design and build, value of adjacent properties, property age, resell potential, physical condition, etc. The appraised value will also be the reference of the loanable amount, subject to the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio policy of the bank.
