Duel Sided Fireplace, UAD Count

[residentialguy]

I appraised a house with a round fireplace that was glassed. Pretty cool. I stated that there were 360 fireplaces.

Are you sure it wasn't a Zoroastrian Fire Altar? Pictures of religious items are now strictly forbidden.

Doesn't each FP have to have a chimney? If it's one chimney and one heat source below the chimney, it would be one FP, albeit one with a clever design of two sides. Adjust it for superior appeal if you believe market is returning a premium and explain why, but it's one FP imo.

I guess a gas log fireplace is not a fireplace because it has no chimney?

What does a gas log FP use for escape of smoke /ventilation? I am in an area with few FP, however if it was a gas log FP with 2 sides I would still call it one. I used chimney in reference to WB fireplaces.

Gas logs don't need chimneys, just a vent.

This is funny, laughed out loud kind of funny.

The list of adjustments that I have would result in a +\-$900,000 adjustment
360 x $2,500

That would be properly called a single stack fireplace with two opposing full mantles, one in each room.

You'd cut them a 50% spiff or something. A lot of cost is in the stack, but I think more is in the full mantle if that's what's going on. But just facia mantles are not as big of a deal.

UAD has nothing to do with anything, except a governmental compliance hoop. Standard appraisal rules still apply.

Don't give the tech morons any bright ideas to try and capture fireplace counts in uad. Too late.

Some of them are ventless.

Most of the ventless (I see) are pp, the direct vent are at least built-in.
