Pa Form Disclosure PDF Details

When considering the purchase of a property, one of the most comprehensive resources available to buyers in Pennsylvania is the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement, recommended by the Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS®. This form, known as the SPD, plays a vital role in the real estate transaction process, offering a detailed account of a property's condition as known by the seller. By law, sellers in Pennsylvania are required to disclose all known material defects that are not evident upon a basic observation of the property. This requirement is rooted in the intention to provide buyers with as much information as possible to make an informed purchase decision. The SPD goes beyond the minimum legal necessities, offering an exhaustive list of property aspects for disclosure, including but not limited to issues related to the roof, basement, termites, and the presence of any hazardous materials. This disclosure serves not as a warranty but as a statement of the seller's knowledge at the time of signing, encouraging buyers to conduct their inspections for a comprehensive understanding of the property condition. It's important to recognize that completion of this form is mandatory for sellers, with few exceptions, ensuring that buyers are well-informed about potential investments.

SELLER'S PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

SPD

This form recommended and approved for, but not restricted to use by, the members of the Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS® (PAR).

1PROPERTY

2SELLER

3The Real Estate Seller Disclosure Law (68 P.S. §7301 et seq.) requires that a seller of a property must disclose to a buyer all known 4 material defects about the property being sold that are not readily observable. While the Law requires certain disclosures, this state- 5 ment includes disclosures beyond the basic requirements of the Law in an effort to assist sellers in complying with seller disclosure 6 requirements and to assist buyers in evaluating the property being considered. Sellers who wish to see or use the basic disclosure form 7 can find the form on the Web site of the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission.

8This Statement discloses Seller’s knowledge of the condition of the property as of the date signed by Seller and is not a substi- 9 tute for any inspections or warranties that Buyer may wish to obtain. This Statement is not a warranty of any kind by Seller or a

10warranty or representation by any listing real estate broker, any selling real estate broker, or their licensees. Buyer is encouraged to

11address concerns about the conditions of the property that may not be included in this Statement. This Statement does not relieve

12Seller of the obligation to disclose a material defect that may not be addressed on this form. Any non-exempt seller is obligated to

13complete the disclosure form even if the seller does not occupy or has never occupied the property. For a list of exempt sellers,

14see Information Regarding the Real Estate Seller's Property Disclosure Law found on the last page of this document.

15A Material Defect is a problem with a residential real property or any portion of it that would have a significant adverse impact on

16the value of the property or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The fact that a structural element, system or

17subsystem is at or beyond the end of the normal useful life of such a structural element, system or subsystem is not by itself a mate-

18rial defect.

19Check yes, no, unknown (unk) or not applicable (N/A) for each question. Be sure to check N/A when a question does not apply

20to the property. Check unknown when the question does apply to the property but you are not sure of the answer.
