USPAP and locational obsolescence
[Draft copy — replace in /admin] USPAP requires appraisers to consider all factors that affect value — including those arising from the property's location and neighborhood. Off-site conditions such as wastewater treatment plants, pipelines, transmission lines, railroads, power plants, and landfills are classic examples of locational obsolescence that must be identified, measured, and documented in the appraisal report.
Until now, no single national resource has compiled these factors. Impact Check fills that gap: one search, one report, every relevant off-site condition and planned public improvement project in and around the subject property.
What appraisers use Impact Check for
