Common questions
Does the report make the loan eligible?
No. It documents the structure after the move. Eligibility is the lender's decision on the whole file.
Can it be delivered straight to us?
Yes, when the borrower authorizes direct delivery. Otherwise it goes to the borrower.
The move was years ago. Is an inspection still possible?
Yes. The engineer documents the current installation and any visible evidence of damage, alteration, or settlement from the move.
