If a room’s ceiling is sloped, at least one-half of the finished square footage in that room must have a vertical ceiling height of at least 7 feet (2.13 meters); no portion of the finished area that has a height of less than 5 feet (1.52 meters) may be included in finished square footage.Again, Fannie Mae differs because they are considered with the accuracy of an analysis not necessarily the particulars of a property.

Without looking at the property myself it would be hard to make a statement without any accuracy, but I do have some suggestions. The appraiser may be able to answer your questions about the items you are unsure of. If it is necessary to go through the garage to get to the mother in-law suite then it will not be included in the overall gross living area of the home.

With that being said, my biggest question and one my town building inspector could not answer was this.

It is served by a separate heating system. Thank you in advance for your prompt response to this inquiry.Hello, Gail, and thanks for the question. I recently visited a home that had, what once was an unfinished space on the 2nd level, finished, but with only a large Air unit installed and no vents for heat.

I have worked in areas where having a guest house like the type you describe is a premium, and sellers get top dollar, however I have also seen a similar feature in a neighborhood where it was the only one. It can give the wrong impression when calculating price per square foot.C’mon, Tom. Should this be included in the GLA?If construction is similar in quality and finish to the rest of the house and it is connected by a similar finished area then ANSI standards say it can be considered GLA. The best thing is to make sure the construction quality is similar to the rest of the house. – Gross Living Area (GLA) Square Footage. Define “finished” he stated that if it has drywall on the 3/4 upstairs, it’s finished. Will Realtors accept the bottom level square footage as part of GLA? The catch is, per ANSI if you cut a big hole in wall between the attached finished garage n main living area, and if the garage is as good as the rest of home you’ll get the square footage included with rest of the property, but you also lost the benefit of having a perfectly good two car garage.You’re exactly right. In that case, as long as the property conforms to the area it would be acceptable.Hi.

Is that supposed to be distinguished? Did I leave out anything that you have a questions about? Prices (value) because I say so.Appraisers do not make value, we report it. My bank is referring to it as an appraisal and the amount I can borrow is based on their valuation, which seems low to me.

Not every closet I have seen has an HVAC vent in it.We have an enclosed swimming pool area attached to the house via an 8 ft patio door. The garage doors removed and professionally bricked over to look exactly like the rest of the home exterior, interior dry walled, heated with electric baseboard heat, insulated and finished with recessed lights and carpet over concrete floor, also vinyl windows installed and 2 exit doors. The fact that the access is through the master bedroom and bath may affect its functionality since it is not very accessible.

On the tax records, this home is listed as a three bedroom, two bath, but now is a five bedroom two bath. It is listed as 2436 Sq ft, yet the listing clearly says the basement is unfinished. The interior needs insulation, sheet rock, tape and textured, also needs flooring. The room itself is large and contains 4 sets of sliding doors that lead to the deck. I would say the first appraiser was correct in how they handled the situation. Good luck.Home appraisal has the distinct feel of Soviet central planning. He adjusted another comparable up $10000 in the Q rating line even though it had the same Q rating as our home, and he did not physically inspect the comparable. The value added will probably be more than the cost to finish the work.

It’s not always easy for a home owner to digest that an added area does not count for the square footage.
