UAD 3.6 Quick Start: What to Verify Before Every Inspection

Broad Production has been open since January 26, 2026, and every appraiser can submit live UAD 3.6 assignments today. The forms are more structured, the condition ratings are different, and the comparable window is tighter. Most of what trips up a first UAD 3.6 report was knowable before the appraiser ever walked the property. 

That's what this checklist is for. It's a short, pre-inspection version of the UAD 3.6 Appraiser Preparation guide, built to be reviewed in the field, before the inspection starts, not after the report is written.

What the Checklist Covers 

It walks through the order details worth double-checking before you leave for the property, from the property record and contract version to intended use and access. From there, it moves into the parts of UAD 3.6 that changed the most: how comparable sales are scoped, how fresh the MLS data needs to be, and how condition ratings now work under the new scale. Each item is written as a quick yes or no, so it takes minutes to run through, not an extra step added to your workflow. 

Why This Matters for UCDP Submissions 

UCDP rejections tend to trace back to a small, predictable set of causes, and nearly all of them are avoidable at the pre-inspection stage. Once you're back at the office writing the report, they're much harder to fix. The checklist flags what to look for before that becomes a problem and pairs each item with the reasoning behind it so it's not just a box to check.
