🧱 Permanent Foundation Certification – FAQ (Q&A Section)
❓What is a Permanent Foundation Certification?
A Permanent Foundation Certification is a written report prepared by a qualified third party, verifying that a manufactured home is properly affixed to a permanent foundation system in compliance with HUD/FHA/VA lending standards.
❓Who requires this certification?
This certification is typically required by lenders (especially FHA, VA, or USDA loans) during the sale, refinance, or relocation of a manufactured or mobile home. It's used to confirm the foundation meets HUD guidelines.
❓What does MOV Home Inspections provide?
We coordinate a professional on-site inspection of the home and foundation, documenting conditions such as anchoring systems, perimeter footings, additions, and skirting. We then submit findings to an authorized engineering firm that provides the final stamped certification report.
❓What properties qualify for certification?
Only manufactured homes that have been placed on their first permanent location (i.e., not moved more than once) and are affixed to a qualifying foundation system may be certified. Homes must meet HUD criteria for eligibility.
❓Can you certify additions or modifications to manufactured homes?
Yes. We also offer Additions Certifications, which document whether attached structures (such as porches, decks, or rooms) are independently supported and compliant with HUD guidelines.
❓How long does the process take?
Most certifications can be completed within 2–3 business days from the date of inspection, depending on property access and document requirements.
