All appraisal reports submitted to the eligible entity and NRCS <br />for review become the property of the United States and may be <br />used for any legal and proper purpose. Therefore, a condition <br />that limits distribution of the report is not permitted. <br />b. Include a statement similar to the following in this section: <br />i. "I recognize that appraisal reports submitted to the NRCS <br />for review may be used by NRCS for any legal and <br />proper purpose." <br />c. If the appraisal has been made subject to any encumbrances <br />against the property, such as easements, that must be stated. It is <br />unacceptable to state that the property has been appraised as if <br />free and clear of all encumbrances, except as stated in the body of <br />the report; the encumbrances must be identified in this section of <br />0 <br />h. <br />the report. VpmL <br />The use of a hypothetical condition that provides access for <br />NRCS and partners to the easement area will be shown on a map <br />of the subject property to restore, maintain, and monitor the <br />purpose and function for which the easement was placed may be <br />used in the appraisal due to the actual access documents that may <br />not be in place. This access should be considered legal access for <br />the purposes of the appraisal but it may not meet local <br />requirements for other uses such as subdivisions. <br />The use of any other hypothetical conditions is not permitted <br />without NRCS concurrence. <br />The use of an uninstructed, unsupported assumption or <br />hypothetical condition that results in other than "as is" market <br />value will invalidate the appraisal. Include only factors relating to <br />the appraisal problem. Assumptions and limiting conditions that <br />are speculative in nature are inappropriate. <br />Do not include limiting conditions that significantly restrict the <br />application of the appraisal. <br />A contract appraiser cannot make an assumption or accept an <br />instruction that is unreasonable or misleading. Client instructions <br />must have a sound foundation, be in writing, and be included in <br />the appraisal report. <br />Scope of the appraisal <br />VA <br />Attachment number 1 <br />F -7 <br />Page 188 <br />
