## Sec. 226 appraisal available to home buyers **[**[12 U.S.C. 1715q](/us/usc/t12/s1715q)**]** The Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to require that, in connection with any property upon which there is located a dwelling designed principally for a single-family residence or a two-family residence and which is approved for mortgage insurance under section 203, 213 with respect to any property or project of a corporation or trust of the character described in paragraph numbered
(2)of subsection
(a)thereof, 220, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235(i), 237, or 903, of this Act, the seller or builder or such other person as may be designated by the Secretary shall agree to deliver, prior to the sale of the property, to the person purchasing such dwelling for his own occupancy, a written statement setting forth the amount of the appraised value of the property as determined by the Secretary. This section shall not apply in any case where the mortgage involved was insured or the commitment for such insurance was issued prior to the effective date of the Housing Act of 1954. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this section, the Secretary is authorized to require, in connection with any mortgage where the mortgage amount is computed on the basis of the Secretary's estimate of the replacement cost of the property, or on the basis of any other estimates of the Secretary, that a written statement setting forth such estimate or estimates, as the cases may be, be furnished under this section in lieu of a written statement setting forth the amount of the appraised value of the property.
