While the evidence shows that UPD-compliant property data is consistent with appraisal data, there may be exceptional cases where the property data contains errors or is difficult for the appraiser to validate. Our expectation is that appraisers make a good faith effort to validate the property data and then rely on the best available descriptive data which could be an alternate source. Having made the good faith effort,
appraisers are protected from liability in regard to the property data by Limiting Condition 3 in the 1004 Hybrid appraisal form (and similar language in the hybrid condo form):
“3. The appraiser has relied on data provided by third-parties in this appraisal report. Such data may include, but is not limited to, flood maps, multiple listing real estate services, tax assessment records, public land records, satellite imagery, virtual street views, property data services, surveys, engineering reports, and property data aggregations. After examination of the data and data sources, the appraiser has used only the data he or she considers reliable.
The appraiser makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding the accuracy of this data.”
