Nc Disclosure Statement PDF Details

In navigating the journey of buying a home in North Carolina, one of the critical steps involves scrutinizing the North Carolina Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement, a document designed under the Residential Property Disclosure Act. This form, approved for the express purpose of disclosure, mandates that sellers of residential properties—ranging from single-family homes to buildings comprising up to four dwelling units—provide prospective buyers with detailed information about the property's condition and any homeowners’ association details. Sellers are required to answer a series of questions regarding various aspects of the property, from the foundational integrity to potential infestations, openly disclosing any known issues or expressly stating a lack of knowledge thereof. Importantly, the disclosure is not just about providing current snapshots of the property's condition but also involves updating the buyer should new problems arise post the initial declaration. Notably, this form serves as a layer of transparency in the transaction, offering buyers a closer look at potential investments while delineating the boundaries of seller liability for the property's condition. Additionally, the form entails instructions for situations where the seller might not comply with the disclosure obligations, granting buyers a degree of protection through the ability to rescind their offer under particular conditions, thereby emphasizing the significance of the disclosure in fostering an honest and informed property transaction in North Carolina.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Instructions to Property Owners

1.The Residential Property Disclosure Act (G.S. 47E) (“Disclosure Act”) requires owners of residential real estate (single-family homes, individual condominiums, townhouses, and the like, and buildings with up to four dwelling units) to furnish buyers a Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement (“Disclosure Statement”). This form is the only one approved for this purpose. A disclosure statement must be furnished in connection with the sale, exchange, option, and sale under a lease with option to purchase where the tenant does not occupy or intend to occupy the dwelling. A disclosure statement is not required for some transactions, including the first sale of a dwelling which has never been inhabited and transactions of residential property made pursuant to a lease with option to purchase where the lessee occupies or intends to occupy the dwelling. For a complete list of exemptions, see G.S. 47E-2.

2.You must respond to each of the questions on the following pages of this form by filling in the requested information or by placing a check (√) in the appropriate box. In responding to the questions, you are only obligated to disclose information about which you have actual knowledge.

a.If you check "Yes" for any question, you must explain your answer and either describe any problem or attach a report from an attorney, engineer, contractor, pest control operator or other expert or public agency describing it. If you attach a report, you will not be liable for any inaccurate or incomplete information contained in it so long as you were not grossly negligent in obtaining or transmitting the information.

b.If you check “No,” you are stating that you have no actual knowledge of any problem. If you check "No" and you know there is a problem, you may be liable for making an intentional misstatement.

c.If you check "No Representation,” you are choosing not to disclose the conditions or characteristics of the property, even if you have actual knowledge of them or should have known of them.

d.If you check "Yes" or "No" and something happens to the property to make your Disclosure Statement incorrect or inaccurate (for example, the roof begins to leak), you must promptly give the buyer a corrected Disclosure Statement or correct the problem.

3.If you are assisted in the sale of your property by a licensed real estate broker, you are still responsible for completing and delivering the Disclosure Statement to the buyers; and the broker must disclose any material facts about your property which he or she knows or reasonably should know, regardless of your responses on the Disclosure Statement.

4.You must give the completed Disclosure Statement to the buyer no later than the time the buyer makes an offer to purchase your property. If you do not, the buyer can, under certain conditions, cancel any resulting contract (See "Note to Buyers" below). You should give the buyer a copy of the Disclosure Statement containing your signature and keep a copy signed by the buyer for your records.

Note to Buyer: If the owner does not give you a Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement by the time you make your offer to purchase the property, you may under certain conditions cancel any resulting contract without penalty to you as the buyer. To cancel the contract, you must personally deliver or mail written notice of your decision to can- cel to the owner or the owner's agent within three calendar days following your receipt of the Disclosure Statement, or three calendar days following the date of the contract, whichever occurs first. However, in no event does the Disclosure Act permit

you to cancel a contract after settlement of the transaction or (in the case of a sale or exchange) after you have occupied the

property, whichever occurs first.

5.In the space below, type or print in ink the address of the property (sufficient to identify it) and your name. Then sign and date. Property Address:
