Can I sue for an error on an appraisal that ended up costing us?
I was refinancing a property. The appraisal noted that we didn't have proper egress and that it was a safety issue. She noted this for a reduced price in her appraisal and also for selling. I checked with the city and fire department and we did have proper egress. Because she noted this safety issue, the lender would not give us a loan until it was fixed. We missed the deadline for our locked in rate and it was raised 1.5%. Which totals about 32 grand over 30 years. Can we sue the appraiser/appraisal company for this.

It's a 30 year loan. I don't get your point.
;point is you have not lost 32k unless you stay there the entire 30 years and if you pay more each month in a mortgage payment like many of us do you lower your interest expense as well. So your going to have a hard time saying you lost 32k. I know its an unfortunate situation for you I get that .. But I suspect there is not much your going to do that would not cost you thousands in legal fee's with a slim chance of winning.. etc etc. you could sue and hope the E and O insurance just cuts you a small check.
there ya go sue them then.
