Sellers record known defects, past repairs, water, pests and notices on a dated disclosure with a ticked acknowledgement — the sale stays honest from day one.
Quick answer
Complete it before the property is listed, not after a buyer discovers something: the seller discloses known defects, past repairs, water and pest history and any notices, with a dated acknowledgement. Disclosure duties vary by jurisdiction — record what you genuinely know and keep the supporting documents on file.
Disclaimer: a structured record of what the seller states they know; it is not legal advice and does not replace the statutory disclosure forms required in your jurisdiction.
Section order adapted from standard seller property disclosure statements.
Surprise defects found after contracts are the single fastest route to rescinded sales and litigation. This disclosure walks a seller through seven areas — structure, roof, water and damp, plumbing and electrical, past repairs and insurance claims, pests, and legal or community notices — each answered known / not known / not sure with a free-text line. The buyer's signature acknowledges receipt; the record joins the contract pack.
