STATEMENT
OF LIMITING CONDITIONS AND APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION
CONTINGENT AND
LIMITING CONDITIONS: The appraiser's certification that
appears in the appraisal report is subject to the following
conditions:
- The appraiser
will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that
affect either the property being appraised or the title
to do it. The appraiser assumes that the title is good and
marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions
about the title. The property is appraised on the basis
of it being under responsible ownership.
- The appraiser
may have provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show
approximate dimensions of the improvements and the sketch
is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing
the property and understanding the appraiser's determination
of its size.
- The appraiser
has examined the available flood maps that are provided
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data
sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the
subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard
Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she
makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this
determination.
- The appraiser
will not give testimony or appear in court because he or
she made an appraisal of the property in questions, unless
specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand.
- The appraiser
has estimated the value of the land in the cost approach
at its highest and best use and the improvements at their
contributory value. These separate valuations of the land
and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any
other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used.
- The appraiser
has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions
(such as, needed repairs, depreciation, the presence of
hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during
the inspection of the subject property or that he or she
became aware of during the normal research involved in performing
the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal
report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or
unapparent conditions of the property or adverse environmental
conditions (including the presence of hazardous wastes,
toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more
or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such
conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, express
or implied, regarding the condition of the property.
The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions
that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might
be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because
the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental
hazards, the appraisal report must NOT be considered as
any type environmental assessment or property inspection
of the property
- The appraiser
obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were
expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or
she considers to be reliable and believes them to be true
and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility
for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other
parties.
- The appraiser
will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except
as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice.
- The appraiser
may have based his or her appraisal report and valuation
conclusion for an appraisal that is subject to satisfactory
completion, repairs, or alterations on the assumption of
the improvements will be performed in a workmanlike manner.
- The appraiser
must provide his or her prior written consent before the
lender/client specified in the appraisal report can distribute
the appraisal report (including conclusions about the property
value, the appraiser's identify and professional designations,
and references to any professional appraisal organizations
of the firm with which the appraiser is associated) to anyone
other than the borrower, the mortgage of its successors
and assigns; the mortgage insurer; consultants; professional
appraisal organizations; any state or federally approved
financial institution; or any department agency, or instrumentality
of the United States or any state of the District Of Columbia;
except that the lender/client may distribute the property
description section of the report only to data collection
or reporting service (s) without having to obtain the appraiser's
prior written consent.
The appraiser's written consent and approval must also be
obtained before the appraisal can be conveyed by anyone
to the public through advertising, public relations, news,
sales, or other media.
APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION: The appraiser certifies
and agrees that:
- I have researched
the subject market area and have selected a minimum of three
recent sales of properties most similar and proximate to
the subject property for consideration in the sales comparison
analysis and have made a dollar adjustment when appropriate
to reflect the market reaction to those items of significant
variation. If a significant item in a comparable property
is superior to, or more favorable than, the subject property,
I have made a NEGATIVE adjustment is made to reduce the
adjusted sales price of the comparable and, if a significant
item in a comparable property is inferior to, or less favorable
than the subject property, I have made a POSITIVE adjustment
is made to increase the adjusted sales price of the comparable.
- I have taken
into consideration the factors that have an impact on value
in my development of the estimate of market value in the
appraisal report. I have not knowingly withheld any significant
information from the appraisal report and I believe, to
the best of my knowledge, that all statements and information
in the appraisal report are true and correct.
- I stated in
the appraisal report only my own personal, unbiased, and
professional analysis, opinions, and conclusions, which
are subject only to the contingent and limiting conditions
specified in this form.
- I have no present
or prospective interest in the property that is the subject
to this report, and I have no present or prospective personal
interest or bias with respect to the participants in the
transaction. I did not base, either partially or completely,
my analysis and/or the estimate of market value in the appraisal
report on the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national origin of either the prospective owners
or occupants of the subject property or of the present owners
or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the subject
property.
- I have no present
or contemplated future interest in the subject property,
and neither my current or future employment nor my compensation
for performing this appraisal is contingent on the appraised
value of the property.
- I was not required
to report predetermined value or direction in value that
favors the cause of the client or any related party, the
amount of value estimate, the attainment of a specific result,
or the occurrence of a subsequent event in order to receive
my compensation and/or employment for performing the appraisal.
I did not base the appraisal report on a requested minimum
valuation, a specific valuation, or the need to approve
a specific mortgage loan.
- I performed
this appraisal in conformity with the Uniform Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice that were adopted and
promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of The Appraisal
Foundation and that were in place as of the effective date
of this appraisal, with the exception of the departure provision
of those Standards, which does not apply (unless specifically
stated so). I acknowledge that an estimate of a reasonable
time for exposure in the open market is a condition in the
definition of market value and the estimate I developed
is consistent with the marketing time noted in the neighborhood
section of this report, unless I have otherwise state in
the reconciliation section.
- I have personally
inspected the interior and exterior areas of the subject
property, and the exterior of all properties listed as comparables
in the appraisal report (unless otherwise indicated). I
further certify that I have noted any apparent or known
adverse conditions in the subject improvements, on the subject
site, or on any site within the immediate vicinity of the
subject property of which I am aware and have made adjustments
for these conditions in my analysis of the property value
to the extent that I had market evidence to support them.
I have also commented about the effect of the adverse conditions
on the marketability of the subject property.
- I personally
prepared all conclusions and opinions about the real estate
that were set forth in the appraisal report. If I relied
on significant professional assistance from any individual
or individuals in the performance of the appraisal of the
preparation of the appraisal report, I have named such individual(s)
and disclosed the specific tasks performed by them in the
reconciliation section of this appraisal report. I certify
that any individual so named is qualified to perform the
tasks. I have not authorized anyone to make a change to
any item in the report; therefore, if an unauthorized change
is made to the appraisal report, I take no responsibility
for it.
