Intended Users: Trier of Fact and Committee of Sale
Intended Use: to provide a supported opinion of value pursuant to a court order
Extraordinary Assumption
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) defines an extraordinary assumption as:
“An assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, as of the effective date of the appraisal results, which, if found
to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”
~In this case, I assume the condition of the subject exterior is a strong indication of the condition of its interior,
which I cannot see. If the subject's overall condition is superior to how it appears, then the appraisal results could be
affected.
Hypothetical Condition
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) defines a hypothetical condition as: “A condition, directly
related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the
assignment results, but is used for the purpose of analysis." None
SCOPE OF WORK The Scope of Work is the type and extent of research and analyses performed in an
appraisal assignment that are required to produce credible assignment results, given the nature of the appraisal
problem, the specific requirements of the intended users, and the intended use of the appraisal report. The
opinion of value that is the conclusion of this report is meaningful within the context of the scope of work, as
of the effective date, subject to the stated assumptions & limiting conditions, any hypothetical conditions and
extraordinary assumptions, and the definition of value, as disclosed herein.
The scope of work encompasses the necessary research and analysis to produce a credible result, in accordance
with the intended use, and conforms with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Property descriptions are based on street-level exterior observations of the subject and from data compiled
from public records, the statewide multiple listing service, and commercial data sources to which I subscribe or
seek out. In developing the sales comparison analysis, I collected market data from the above cited sources,
corroborated and analyzed it. The most relevant comparable sales were selected, analyzed, and compared to the
subject property in the development of the appraisal; of these, the most instructive were selected for inclusion
in the report.
Listings or agreements, if any, were analyzed and findings are summarized in this report to include sales of the
subject property within 3 years of the effective date of this appraisal, as available from public record sources.
A full interior and exterior inspection of a subject property is not permitted in most cases, so an exterior-only
inspection is necessary. I have determined that the appraisal developed under this scope of work is not so
limited that the results of the assignment are no longer credible. The client and intended users understand that
the limited inspection is appropriate given the intended use.
I have developed the most useful approaches and have reported one or more approaches, as necessary for the
understanding of the intended users, and have reconciled the quality and quantity of data available into an
opinion of market value, in accordance with the intended use, scope of work, and definition of value.

Concrete Foundation Issue
The Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection has reported that deterioration of concrete
foundations in certain homes and structures has occurred and is occurring in parts of Connecticut, concentrated
in the northeastern part of the state and principally involving some improvements built from 1983-2017. The
deterioration is reported to be caused by defective concrete mixes. Under an exterior-only inspection, even a
casual observation of a concrete foundation is not possible. Unless discovered by other means,I assume no
defective concrete as an ordinary assumption.
Zoning
Subject is zoned RA, Residential Agricultural District
Minimums: 50,000 sq ft lot area, 200 ft frontage, setbacks are 50 ft front and rear, 25 ft side yard
Dwelling area for one-storey: 1,000 sq ft
Subject meets zoning minimum requirements.
Highest and Best Use Analysis
Site as-vacant: Permitted by right is single-unit use and agriculture Either meets zoning requirements
so is legally permissible, and is physically possible. Given the strong demand for single-unit residential
properties and the availability of financing, this use is financially feasible, and so, the maximally productive use
of the site.
As-improved: Continued single-unit use as improvements contribute value to the site.
Exposure Time is defined in USPAP as the estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised
would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on
the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure time: 1 month.
This is an appraisal report per SR 2-2a, subject to the stated Scope of Work.
Prior Services
I have performed no other services, as an appraiser or in any other capacity, regarding the property that is the
subject of the appraisal, within the three-year period immediately preceding acceptance of this assignment.
American Society of Appraisers
The American Society of Appraisers has a mandatory reaccreditation program for all of its Designated Members. I am in
compliance with that program.
Appraisal Institute Certification
As of the date of this report, I have completed the Standards & Ethics Education requirements for designated members of the
Appraisal Institute. The reported analysis, opinions and conclusions were developed, and this report has been prepared in
conformity with the Code of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute. The use of this report is subject to the
requirements of the Appraisal Institute relating to review by its duly authorized authorities.
No other users are intended by the appraiser.This appraisal is made for a specific use of a specified user.
Possession of the report by others does mean the appraisal addresses their specific needs; persons other than
the intended users should seek an independent appraisal which does address their specific needs.
