Collateral And Underwriting Standards

Underwriting Pillar	What Is Reviewed	Why It Affects Terms
Title And Provenance	Ownership chain, transfer history, and legal claims.	Unclear title can stop the process or reduce proceeds.
Valuation Quality	Appraisals, market depth, and liquidation assumptions.	Debt sizing is linked to downside recoverability.
Condition And Authenticity	Condition reports, restoration history, authenticity support.	Condition risk and attribution risk impact pricing and advance.
Custody And Insurance	Storage standards, movement protocol, and coverage terms.	Weak control points raise risk and tighten covenants.
Borrower Credit Profile	Financial statements, leverage, and repayment plan.	Collateral supports the loan, cash discipline supports the close.
