AGE
In the past, some residential loan appraisals required the appraiser to estimate “effective age.”
To comply with UAD system today the “actual age” must be used.
ACTUAL AGE
This is the chronological age of the property improvements.

EFFECTIVE AGE
Effective age is usually defined as the relative age of a structure considering its physical condition and marketability.

SUMMARY
22
The inspection and analysis of real property improvements require preparation and planning. The intended use of the report greatly affects the amount and kind of data required in the inspection and analysis of improvements. The purpose of most appraisals is to estimate market value. This generally requires a detailed description of the physical structure and a rating for market acceptability.
Regardless of the approach to be emphasized, the building inspection should accurately describe and rate the physical features of the structure for marketability, quality of construction, and physical condition. It is desirable that the appraiser have a basic knowledge of design principles in construction.
