Read your engagement letter. Most of the ones that I see say stop work if home is in C5 condition or they might say condition on C4 and list repairs needed. If it was not in the instructions then don't change your appraisal unless they pay extra fee.So lender threw the ball on my court. If I use C5, I will have to set up condition to be repaired for homeowner to get loan.
Haven't you ever done a new construction that was not complete yet? Do you state it is C5 or condition appraisal on C1???If I say C5 why should I condition what needs to be corrected. UAD never said it had to be fixed. It's the lender's call.
I can describe the deferred maintenance and lenders should decide what to do whether to do further investigation or condition to be repaired to before giving the loan.
No it's not.So it's up to me in deciding the owner's fate.
