17 10. Inconsistencies in reporting Condition Appraiser noted that there are missing floor coverings in multiple rooms of the subject. They included these in the Defects, Damages, and Deficiencies (Unit Interior) table, but indicated that the recommended actions were None. By definition as seen in Appendix F-1: URAR Reference Guide, missing floor coverings should result in a C5 rating: • If this is intended to be an as-is appraisal due to the missing floor coverings, by definition this would be a C5. • If the appraisal was intended to be made subject to the installation of the floor coverings, then it could be made a C4.

Chief Appraiser Says
Reading the actual guideline text below — never a general AI guess
Here's what these guidelines say about missing floor covering: We have to report it and rate the property's condition accordingly—if the floor covering is completely missing, that's a C5 condition rating (meaning it needs to be fixed before closing), but if you're planning to install it before closing, it can be a C4. VA allows you to delay installing finished floor covering until right before loan closing as long as the inspection report describes exactly what will be installed and confirms it's done satisfactorily before you close. Fannie Mae considers worn or missing floor finishes as examples of minor deferred maintenance that can be reported "as is," but missing floor coverings in multiple rooms would typically require repair before closing rather than being treated as a minor condition. Straight from VA Lenders Handbook (Pamphlet 26-7), UAD 3.6/URAR (FNMA), and Fannie Mae Selling Guide — nothing added.
