Uniform Appraisal Dataset

The Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) is a standardized set of data and reporting guidelines used in real estate appraisals, primarily for mortgage lending. It ensures that appraisals consistently capture key property details, market conditions, and valuation reasons. By standardizing data collection and report format, UAD helps lenders, insurers, and regulators more easily review and compare appraisals, improving accuracy and transparency in the home valuation process. This consistency benefits all parties by reducing errors, streamlining approval workflows, and maintaining high quality standards in property valuation.
