Commercial Property Information Reports
For the situations, or markets, where an automated product may not be an option, LCS provides the Commercial Property Information Report. These reports can be used by a lender to help their in-house evaluators determine the condition of the property as well as derive their own estimate of market value. Completed by a real estate professional in the subject property’s market, the Commercial Property Information Report includes:
- Subject Property Information
- Subject Market Information
- Subject Neighborhood Information
The report is accompanied by photographs of the subject property.
Commercial and Residential Appraisal Review Services
LCS’ review services comply with the federal government’s direction regarding appraisal reviews. Our appraisers will review the original appraisal for compliance with USPAP/FIRREA as well as lender-specific requirements as outlined in the engagement letter. The appraiser will provide an opinion of the quality of the appraisal, and will highlight any deficiencies in the report.
