Thank you Russ!If you are asked to value the fee simple absolute interest; then it will not affect the legal interest which you are appraising. Your client is correct in that case and they will work out the title and encumbrance releases on their end.
If you are asked to value the saleable interest, then the restriction will come into your scope of work.
Yes, I have extensive experience in deed-restricted and encumbered interest valuation. That is not something a true expert can do for a few hundred bucks that the lender wants to pay for an appraisal.
I sent a request to the client to clarify the SOW for this assignment. If you do work in Chicago, or have a recommended firm you partner with, feel free to DM me and I will recommend the Client enlist a firm with his type of expertise.
I appreciate your help!
