Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD)

Background
To improve the quality and consistency of appraisal data on loans delivered to the GSE, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, at the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) , have developed the Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD), which defines all fields required for an appraisal submission for specific appraisal forms and standardizes definitions and responses for a key subset of fields.

For appraisals with an effective date (date of inspection) on or after September 1, 2011, the appraisal report must be completed in compliance with the UAD for conventional mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

The UAD is a component of the Uniform Mortgage Data Program, jointly established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the direction of our regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to provide common requirements for appraisal and loan delivery data.
