Valuation Risk Alerts (VRA)

Valuation Risk Alerts are required by certain clients.

Each risk item on a report can either be checked or unchecked, and if checked a comment can be entered.

All risks must be answered either yes or no before the report will be delivered.

If unchecked we require a Rating of "1-Low", if flagged as a risk send "5-High".

Flagged as a risk: 

<RiskRating Rating="5-High" RatingType="Other">
        <Identifier Type="VPMAssigned" UniqueID=”HighRiskOrNonResiPropType” Description="High Risk Security">
	        <Comment>The valuer notes that subject property is outside of CBA Guidelines </Comment>
        </Identifer>
</RiskRating>

Not flagged as a risk: 

<RiskRating Rating="1-Low" RatingType="Other">
        <Identifier Type="VPMAssigned" UniqueID=”HighRiskOrNonResiPropType” Description="High Risk Security">
	        <Comment />
        </Identifer>
</RiskRating>

Estimated selling period vs ExtendedSellingPeriod

For the question:
"Are there any adverse marketability issues, that would require an extended selling period of more than 6 months?"

Implementors are encouraged to map the comments of Estimated Selling Period into a positive answer and corresponding comment to this market risk question.

Note

For report integrity, originally "Is the property under contract" was implemented as distinct from "Recent Sale, under contract?".

This part of report integrity was to correct the original valuation request information; rather than to correct it in the valuation report itself.

Within the user interface, we've left the distinction for the moment - and will be merging the two in the near future.

For LIXI implementors, use of //RecentSale[@IsContract='Yes'] will populate both.
