Effective September 1, 2010 Fannie Mae has new interior photograph requirements for interior appraisals. All interior appraisals must include the following photos:
- Kitchen
- All Bathrooms
- Main Living Area
- Examples of physical deterioration (in any)
- Examples of updates, remodeling, or renovation (if any)
I've always made it a habit to take pictures of every room in the house as well as anything that can possibly have an effect on value or marketability. It also a good idea to take pictures of health and safety issues like security bar window release levers, pool gates, etc. I would also take pictures of any external obsolescence (adjacent gas station or apartment building) and any positive external influences like golf courses or views.
