Legal Real Estate Disclosures
Disclose, Disclose, Disclose.
The legal principle of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) is dead or dying. We are living in an age of consumerism, and it’s hard to find a court that won’t favor the buyer in a dispute. In fact, government agencies require that the seller must disclose everything.
If you have a problem in your home, don’t mask it. A common example is the homeowner who spray paints a ceiling to cover water stains caused by a leaking roof. If you have a major problem that you don’t intend to correct, be candid about it.
And remember, should someone make an offer to purchase, seek advice before signing any document. It could be a binding contract upon which you could be taken to court, though you did not completely understand its meaning.
