FHA APPRAISAL GUIDELINES
FHA APPRAISAL GUIDELINES
(Revised 3/27/2014)
(These guidelines are in addition to our general appraisal guidelines)
The FHA case number must be printed on EVERY page of the report. This includes cover page, photo pages, maps, etc. This is a lender requirement and is mandatory.
Appraiser must be FHA certified. Report cannot be co-signed. Make sure that exterior photos show all sides of the subject. On a purchase transaction and/or vacant property, call agent and/or contact person to
verify that all utilities are on before doing inspection. Appraisal must mention whether or not utilities and/or mechanical systems are in good
working order. All utilities must be tested (water, electrical, gas). If subject has attic and/or crawlspace, they must be inspected. A comment needs to be in
the report stating that this visual inspection took place and whether or not there were any adverse conditions. If utilities and/or mechanical systems cannot be tested or are not in good working order, the report must be made "subject to" further inspection. The appraisal must state whether the subject meets FHA/HUD minimum requirements. If subject is a condo, a comment must be added stating your opinion of estimated remaining economic life. We would prefer to see this comment in the reconciliation section of Form 1073. Pursuant to FHA/HUD requirements, report must contain original comparable photos taken by appraiser. MLS photos are not a substitute for original photos. MLS photo may be included in addition to original photo(s) taken by appraiser. Appraiser must include property sketch including exterior dimensions of house, patios, porches breezeways and other on-site improvements. Patios, porches and breezeways must be labeled as either covered or uncovered. If property being sold as a "flip" (less than 90-days since the seller acquired the home), appraiser must explain what renovation, repair and rehabilitation, if any, has been completed since the seller acquired the home. Appraiser must verify that subject has working smoke detector(s). If subject is legally required to have carbon monoxide detector(s), appraiser must verify the presence and working condition of the detector(s). If CO detector(s) is/are present appraiser must provide photo(s) of said detector(s).
