Topic 27. Attics
March 28, 2019
This Chapter has been revised in its entirety.
a. Appraiser Expectations
Fee appraisers must view the interior of readily accessible attic spaces. The appraiser is not required to climb into the attic. The appraiser is not required to move insulation or personal items that may hinder visibility. If there is no scuttle or other access to the attic, there is no requirement to provide access.
b. Deficient Conditions
If a deficient condition (for example, a water-stained ceiling or insufficient ventilation) is apparent, the appraiser must prepare the appraisal subject to the repair.
