Highlights:
-
For certain higher-priced mortgage loans, the final rule requires creditors
to use a licensed or certified appraiser who prepares a written appraisal
report based on a physical visit of the interior of the property, provide
consumers with a free copy of the appraisal report, disclose to applicants
information about the purpose of the appraisal, and obtain an additional
appraisal at no cost to the consumer under certain circumstances.
-
The final rule provides exemptions from the additional appraisal requirement
for loans in rural areas and certain other types of loans.
-
The final rule takes effect on January 18, 2014.
