Lender wants original appraisal changed

Status
Not open for further replies.
Inspection was completed over 2 weeks ago and completed report turned into the lender. This was a purchase. Today they hit me with a new purchase agreement and want the original report changed...
I told them I would add an addendum to the original report stating that I received a new purchase agreement and it supercedes the original, but, in no way does it change the original value in the original report.
I submitted it with the new addendum and they kicked it back saying the original must be changed...
I told them no because the new purchase agreement date was 3 weeks after the original report was submitted.

Am I in the right????

You can choose to accept or decline any request.

If the question is whether or not you can change a recently communicated appraisal to reflect a revised purchase agreement and remain USPAP compliant, the answer is yes.
 
Standards Rule 1-5 (supercedes QA & FAQ)
When the value opinion to be developed is market value, an appraiser must, if such information is available to the appraiser in the normal course of business:
(a) analyze all agreements of sale, options, and listings of the subject property current as of the effective date of the appraisal;

So you think it likely that a state appraisal board would punish an appraiser for not reinspecting a property simply to establish a new date of value so that a lender can get a re-negotiated contract analyzed and included in an appraisal report? Would they change the color of the last line of 1-5 when handing down the explanation for the punishment?

Mike,

Referencing "May 2008 USPAP Q&A" (previously cited in this string), are you stating that the ASB is in error regarding their interpretation of USPAP?

You betcha Lee. OP Client is demanding a REDACTION of the CORRECT contract data on PAGE ONE of (the already completed and delivered) URAR which existed as of the EDA replacing it with data from a contract which DID NOT EXIST - as of the EDA. NO CAN DO.

CAN DO one of the three methods noted in post 4 above.

In general you are correct, i.e. the effective date; scope of work; contract modification to relate to your appraisal either lower or higher - and in this regard lender pressure per engagement to meet a value. Your problem may be getting paid, however if this became an issue turn the issue and lender in to the state commission.
 
How can anyone change an original "anything" and still have an original?

Material Fact: "Current (in existence) As of the Effective Date"

Hence the 3 methods of updating a completed, delivered, Appraisal. - new assignment.

Active State Board Enforcement, or lack thereof for whatever the reason (lack of complaints, lack of manpower, budget$ etc.), is not germane to the discussion, though clearly, it appears the ASB should have emboldened "AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF APPRAISAL in Red.

1-5 says what it says - the fixed date in time is a Material Fact integral to the Value Opinion developed, reported, and opined .........As of the Effective Date of Appraisal.

The Value Opinion opined in the completed report is based on what it was, when it was, and the contract data which existed "CURRENT" as of the EDA - "was what it was".

A new Contract "is what it is", did not exist as of the original EDA; revising the original report is an intentional distortion of the Material Fact which existed AS OF the original EDA.

Similarly, whether an Appraiser charges a fee is not the issue. SOW for the NEW assignment - is.

____________

A New Assignment of a Prior Assignment

Regardless of the nomenclature used, when a client seeks a more current value OR ANALYSIS OF a property that was the subject of a prior assignment,

this is not an extension of that prior assignment that was already completed – it is simply a new assignment.
 
Enforcement or Lack thereof is not germane to the discussion,

It's the only thing that is germane. State enforcement agencies are the only ones that can decide if something violates USPAP. And in this specific issue I can't see an enforceable violation. We're just talking about various preferences of the forum members.
 
"We're just talking about various preferences of the forum members."

Perhaps some are - others are already acquainted with SR1-5, and AO-3. Ethics and Competency matter whether "someone is looking" or not. :icon_idea:
