In Virginia's real estate landscape, the term "caveat emptor" or "buyer beware" plays a crucial role. For sellers, understanding what this means and what you are legally required to disclose is essential for a smooth transaction. At Sorella Realty Group, we're here to guide you through these obligations, ensuring you're well-prepared when putting your property on the market.
What Does 'Buyer Beware' Mean for Sellers in Virginia?
Virginia's stance as a "buyer beware" state primarily places the responsibility on the buyer to perform due diligence when purchasing property. However, this doesn't mean sellers are off the hook when it comes to disclosures. There are specific conditions and scenarios where you, as a seller, are required to provide certain information.
Mandatory Disclosures for Sellers:
Residential Property Disclosure Statement:
Material Defects:
Methamphetamine Manufacture:
Adjacent Military Air Installation:
Special Flood Hazard Area:
