UAD Design (Style) entry on 1004

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm using "NW Contemp'y" for Design/Style in most reports I do.

Out here in the wild northwest we don't have as many 'eclectic' designs (as RH says) as eastern states. We're younger!

And we ain't got none of these: "Prairie Vernacular."

But other posters are correct....F/F prefers a 'verbal description' that does not include the number of stories on the Design/Style line. This is an "instruction", not a REQUIREMENT per the UAD, so there is some leeway for your response.
 
Second question: Apparently "2 story" will not be an acceptable entry for "Design (Style), and a more descriptive entry must be used. What do you call one of those mass produced tract 2 stories built in the early 2000's which were simply either a 2 story rectangle or a 2 story "L" shaped house, with virtually NO architectural features whatsoever?

Found it! - neo eclectic.

Design/Style means Ranch, Colonial, or Cape etc. What they don't want are stuff like Brick, Vinyl, or Cool.

I did, and they still want more detail. My "2-story Traditional" and "Late Era Victorian" were just sent back as being to generic. I have no idea what they are looking for and they can’t provide any examples of what are acceptable. I feel like I am playing 20 questions.
 
No. Fannie & Freddie need overhauls.

You are one brave man.:beer:

F & F critique needs to be stated & the UAD introduction to a document guaranteed by law to be read by countless uninitiated consumers conflicts with the implied purpose of communicating with the consumer.

Given your candid reply on this topic, care to share your reaction to the MN law allowing BPO performance by appraisers & USPAP non compliance for MN licensed appraisers in non lending transactions? I'm still gathering thoughts on the matter! (the thread above or below this one, depending upon recent posts).

Well, I know they don't want to see "2-story" so I can see how "2-story Traditional" is too generic unless "Traditional" is a very specific term in your area, but how the heck is "Late Era Victorian" too generic? m2:
