A. LENDER & OWNERSHIP POLICIES (CUSPAP 2026)

Authorized Client Control: Per CUSPAP, the individual or organization who orders the professional service is the Authorized Client and sole owner of the report, regardless of who paid the fee. If the Saskatchewan Credit Union orders the report, the Credit Union maintains absolute control over its use and distribution.
Confidentiality & Distribution: Appraisals are confidential documents intended for internal underwriting and risk management. The appraiser is strictly prohibited from providing copies to third parties without express written consent from the Authorized Client.
No Third-Party Reliance or Transfers: Reports are prepared exclusively for the named Saskatchewan Credit Union and intended use identified at the time of engagement. Fortier Mattila Appraisals Inc. does not issue reliance letters, transmittal letters, or re-address reports to alternative lenders, mortgage brokers, or private lenders.
Major Bank Incompatibility: Reports prepared for Saskatchewan Credit Unions are NOT valid for financing with RBC, TD, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC, CMHC, or Sagen, as those institutions require appraisals to be ordered directly by the lender.
Successive Representation: Per CUSPAP, an appraiser cannot accept a second assignment on the same property for a different client while a previous recent report remains outstanding for its initial intended use.

B. TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS & SCOPE

Inspection Scope: The appraisal is a non-invasive visual observation only and does not constitute a home inspection, structural engineering assessment, or geotechnical evaluation.
Structural Disclosure: Any known structural issues must be disclosed at the time of request. Observed foundation cracks, floor deflection, sagging components, or non-habitable status result in an Extraordinary Assumption for a market-based cost-to-cure.
Expertise Disclaimer: Appraisers are not structural engineers or environmental specialists. Verification of structural integrity, contamination, or mould requires a third-party expert report.
Seasonal Conditions: Site items obscured by snow (roofing/landscaping) are assumed to be in average condition unless otherwise observed.
Privacy: Interior photos are used strictly for valuation and audit purposes per PIPEDA and CUSPAP.

C. FEES & PAYMENT POLICIES

Estimates: Standard Base Fees apply only to existing, site-built single-family detached homes under 2,000 sq.ft., on standard lots, in habitable condition, with an estimated value under $500,000. Complex properties (New Construction, Acreages >15 acres, Outbuildings, Renovations, Executive Homes >2,000 sq.ft. or >$500k, Commercial/Farm use) require a custom quote.
Exclusions: Standard reports include the home, one garage, and up to 15 acres. Unless agreed upon prior to inspection, the appraisal excludes outbuildings, grain storage, and land in excess of 15 acres.
Additional Charges: Apply for "As Is"/"As Proposed" valuations, progress draws, market rent studies, or complex acreage/outbuilding inclusions.
Payment Timing: Due in full on inspection day unless guaranteed by the Saskatchewan Credit Union.
Cheque Policy: Cheques are subject to a 10-business-day clearing period; reporting will not commence until funds clear.
Credit Card Surcharge: A 2.4% surcharge applies to credit card payments (partial recovery of processing costs). Physical debit cards are not accepted.
Cancellation: 25% fee if cancelled prior to inspection; 100% fee if cancelled after the inspection has occurred.
