Not as such.
It's part of the duty of the executor to try and get the best price for assets being sold.

Why is the property being valued?
I jump to the conclusion from the OP's reference to the executor that it's a deceased estate.
I further jump to the conclusion that "appraisial" means "market opinion" rather than valuation proper.
