They apparently do not have time to verify permits (under what criteria units were added or that the work was even done with a permit).To the OP, I fear your property will consistently appraise low when obtaining HELOC or refinancing and that a re-appraisal will not reflect what you are seeing of homes being appraised with an agreed upon negotiated selling price.I am not saying this is the way it should work. 

Ensure that the updates are of high quality yet within budget to maximize the increase in value.When it comes to refinancing, after completing the renovations, you can refinance your home to access the created equity.
