Attorney wants a retrospective exterior only appraisal. Non mortgage related. I know that there is no GPAR exterior only form. Would this assignment need to be a narrative? or is it even possible?

Don't know why it wouldn't be possible. Similar to current date exterior-only appraisal except you use comps from the retro date. Of course there would be a few assumptions and disclaimers in the report but if that's what he wants, do it, collect the check first and then do it. Always collect check first when dealing with a lawyer that you don't personally know.

Use an exterior-only form or a GP form.

The issue is that you cannot used a Fannie Mae 2055 form for non-mortgage related transactions and there is no exterior only GPAR form that I am aware of.

I think there are some historical drive-by forms that don't specifically reference F/F, IIRC. WinTotal seems to have about a thousand various forms; surely there's one in there somewhere that would work. If not, use the GP.
 
Don't the general forms allow you to specific the scope of work and your own assumptions and limitations? That is the rub with the lending forms.
 
The GPR asks if you perfored an interior/exterior or just an exterior.
