All Good Deeds transactions require an independent property valuation, at applicant’s expense, prior to the final agreement. For purchase transactions, buyers may use the appraisal required for the title closing. For in-place offers, owners can use any appraisal less than six months old. Current property owners may apply for Good Deeds without an appraisal, but BSCHT will require one prior to making a final offer.
