Wi Estate Disclosure FAQ
The typical seller disclosure form is several pages long, and it asks the seller to report known defects in the home. This will include the appliances, as well as information about electrical, heating, sewer, water or other mechanical systems.
A real estate broker or licensee also has specific duties outlined in Oklahoma's Condition Disclosure Act. A seller's real estate broker is required to obtain the disclaimer statement or the disclosure statement from the seller as well as any amendments the seller makes, 60 O.S. §836(A).
The PCDS is a disclosure document a seller is required by law to complete and provide the buyer in addition to the purchase agreement. The PCDS forms part of the purchase agreement and the buyer is permitted to rely on the seller's disclosure as set out in it.
A: An appraisal is generally considered a professional opinion of the market value of a property, not a fact. Although it's both legally and ethically necessary to disclose a material fact, the same requirement doesn't apply to an opinion.
Property disclosure statements essentially outline any flaws that the home sellers (and their real estate agents) are aware of that could negatively affect the home's value. These statements are required by law in most areas of the country so buyers can know a property's good and bad points before they close the deal.
Who Must Make These Seller Disclosures in California. As a broad rule, all sellers of residential real estate property containing one to four units in California must complete and provide written disclosures to the buyer.
If a seller fails to disclose, or actively conceals, problems that affect the value of the property; they are violating the law, and may be subject to a lawsuit for recovery of damages based on claims of fraud and deceit, misrepresentation and/or breach of contract.
Buyers must sign off on all disclosures and reports. So it's important to review them carefully and ask questions if you need to. Full disclosure upfront is the way to go. Providing full disclosure can help a seller.
The Property Condition Disclosure Act requires the seller of residential real property to cause this disclosure statement or a copy thereof to be delivered to a buyer or buyer's agent prior to the signing by the buyer of a binding contract of sale.
