Construction and Valuation

The Construction and Valuation (C&V) Section handles appraisal and construction issues for Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.  The C&V Section also oversees the Special Adapted Housing program in these areas.



Read this for your protection:
VA Appraisals are made to determine the reasonable value of the property for loan purposes.  The appraisal should not be considered a building inspection.  Neither VA nor your lender can guarantee that the home you are purchasing will be satisfactory to you in all respects or that all equipment will operate properly.  A thorough inspection of the property by you or a reputable inspection firm may help minimize any problems that could arise after loan closing.  In an existing home, particular attention should be given to plumbing, heating, electrical, and roofing components.
