Common use of Standard Conditions Clause in Contracts

Standard Conditions. Appraisal Reviews The following Standard Conditions apply to real estate appraisal reviews by Altus Group U.S., Inc. (“Altus”). Special Conditions are added as required. Report Content: Appraisal reviews are performed and written reports are prepared in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (Standard 3, Advisory Opinion AO-20, and Statement on Appraisal Standards No.9) of the Appraisal Foundation and with the Appraisal Institute’s Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Code of Professional Ethics. The appraisal review assumes market conditions as observed as of the date of the work under review, and the effective date of the opinion in the work under review. These market conditions will be believed to be correct; however, the appraisers assume no liability should market conditions materially change because of unusual or unforeseen circumstances. No opinion is rendered as to property title, which is assumed to be good and marketable. Unless otherwise stated in the report under review, no consideration is given to liens or encumbrances against the property. It is assumed that legal, engineering, or other professional advice, as may be required, has been or will be obtained from professional sources and that the appraisal review report will not be used for guidance in legal or technical matters such as, but not limited to, the existence of encroachments, easements or other discrepancies affecting the legal description of the property. It is assumed that there are no concealed or dubious conditions of the subsoil or subsurface waters including water table and flood plain, unless otherwise noted in the appraisal report under review. We further assume there are no regulations of any government entity to control or restrict the use of the property unless specifically referred to in the report under review. It is assumed that the property will not operate in violation of any applicable government regulations, codes, ordinances or statutes. No warranty or representations will be made nor any liability assumed in the appraisal review for the structural soundness, quality, adequacy or capacities of said improvements and utility services, including the construction materials, particularly the roof, foundations, and equipment, including the HVAC systems, if applicable. Should there be any question concerning the same, it is strongly recommended that an engineering, construction and/or environmental inspection be obtained. The value estimate(s) referred to in the review report, unless noted otherwise, is predicated on the assumptions that all improvements, equipment and building services, if any, are structurally sound and suffer no concealed or latent defects or inadequacies other than those noted in the appraisal report under review. We will call to your attention any apparent defects or material adverse conditions which come to our attention. In the absence of competent technical advice to the contrary or unless specifically stated in the appraisal report under review, it is assumed that the property being appraised is not adversely affected by concealed or unapparent hazards such as, but not limited to asbestos, hazardous or contaminated substances, toxic waste or radioactivity. Information furnished in the appraisal report under review and by others is presumed to be reliable, and where so specified in the review report, has been re-verified; but no responsibility, whether legal or otherwise, is assumed for the accuracy of such information, and it cannot be guaranteed as being certain. No single item of information was completely relied upon to the exclusion of other information. Appraisal reports may contain estimates of future financial performance, estimates or opinions that represent the view of a typical purchaser or of the market place of reasonable expectations at a particular point in time, but such information, estimates or opinions are not offered as predictions or as assurances that a particular level of income or profit will be achieved, that events will occur, or that a particular price will be offered or accepted. Actual results achieved during the period covered by our prospective financial analyses will vary from those described in our report, and the variations may be material. Any proposed construction of rehabilitation referred to in the appraisal under review is assumed to be completed within a reasonable time and in a workmanlike manner according to or exceeding currently accepted standards of design and methods of construction. Any inaccessible portions of the property or improvements not inspected, if a property inspection is part of the scope of this agreement, are assumed to be as reported or similar to the areas that are inspected. It should be specifically noted by any prospective mortgagee that the appraisal review assumes that the property will be competently managed, leased, and maintained by financially sound owners over the expected period of ownership. This appraisal review does not entail an evaluation of management’s or owner’s effectiveness, nor are we responsible for future marketing efforts and other management or ownership actions upon which actual results will depend. The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) became effective January 26, 1992. Altus will not make a specific compliance survey and analysis of the applicable property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the ADA. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property. Since Altus has no direct evidence relating to this issue, Altus did not consider the effect on value from possible non-compliance with the requirements of ADA, unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report under review.
