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.
- In response to banker requests for assistance in monitoring developments in mortgage-related rulemakings, attached is a listing of CFPB mortgage-related rules, applicable to FDIC-supervised institutions, that are underway or have been recently issued and other FDIC resources bankers may wish to monitor.
