Newflash!
Somewhere out there in underwriter land an underwriter actually read and responded to a comment buried in a lot of other comments in a report.
The report was on a near 100 year old farmhouse on a small acreage lot in an area where such are atypical, and which lot has some peculiar features and restrictions... the fourth comp was in the next county and over 22 miles away and was in the report along with a lot of demographic babble to prove that no better, proximate likely compes existed...SO DON"T ASK ME FOR ONE!!
The homeowner had taken a presure washer to the outside of the house in November of last year, and it had little/no paint.
She did NOT require an additional comp, she actually read why the ones she got were the best there were, she read that it didn't have paint, she read that I am not an environmental inspector and she DID ask for a LBP inspection, and is requiring them to paint the place.
(oh my aching head)
So praise the gal for actually reading the report, knowing something about her job,
and please pray I don't get sued for making the pretty standard issue "built prior to 78, may contain LBP" comment.
