Moved manufactured home reports · September 2026

Moved home? Prove it is structurally sound.

A manufactured home installed at a new property may now have a conventional financing path. The lender needs a structural integrity inspection after the move, completed by a licensed Professional Engineer and retained in the mortgage file.

Freddie Mac’s September 2, 2026 update opened this path for qualifying homes. Your lender confirms eligibility; we document the structure.

What the report answers

Was the home damaged, altered, or weakened when it moved?

The inspection focuses on the parts of a manufactured home most affected by transport and reinstallation. We document current conditions at the property, then issue a clear structural opinion within the agreed scope.

01

Frame and chassis

Distortion, damage, weld changes, corrosion, and evidence the frame is carrying the home as intended.

02

Section connections

For multi-section homes, verify marriage-line connections and visible signs of movement between sections.

03

Foundation and anchors

Review piers, footings, anchors, tie-downs, and the load path created at the current site.

Before you order

Send the lender’s exact wording.

“Structural integrity report” can mean different things across loan programs. Share the written condition, property address, move history, and closing date. We confirm the scope before scheduling.

Common questions

Does the report guarantee conventional financing?

No. It documents the structural condition after the move. The lender reviews the full file and confirms whether the home and loan meet applicable requirements.

Is this the same as a foundation certification?

Not necessarily. A structural integrity report evaluates the home after relocation. A foundation certification addresses a specific foundation standard. Send the written condition so we can discuss the correct scope.

What if the home was moved years ago?

That is still a reportable condition. We document the current installation and any visible evidence of damage, alteration, or settlement from the move.
