Servicers may authorize parties to order appraisals on their behalf (i.e., law firms). Those parties must register in the Veterans Information Portal (VIP) under their own name as an “Other Requestor.” Note: When making the request, be sure to provide accurate information on the location of the keys to a vacant property in item 24 of VA Form 26-1805, VA Request for Determination of Reasonable Value, as well as the telephone number of the party requesting the liquidation appraisal in item 40. This may require additional instructions from servicers when referring cases to foreclosing attorneys, if the attorneys are the parties ordering the liquidation appraisals.

Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook M26-7, Chapter 18, Topic 5 — Processing Procedures
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
