Common questions
Does the report guarantee financing?
No. It documents the structure after the move. The lender reviews the whole file and decides whether the home and the loan qualify.
Is it the same as a foundation certification?
Not necessarily. This report evaluates the home after relocation; a foundation certification addresses a specific foundation standard. Send the written condition and we confirm which one it is asking for.
The home was moved years ago. Does that matter?
It is still a reportable condition. The engineer documents the current installation and any visible evidence of damage, alteration, or settlement from the move.
