What is the purpose of a Property Condition Disclosure statement?

Property Condition Disclosure statements are designed to inform the buyer or tenant about known defects or conditions that could affect the property's value or livability. It’s a disclosure of what the seller knows, not a guarantee of the property’s overall condition. This helps buyers make informed decisions and protects both sides by increasing transparency. It is not a tax document, does not reveal the seller’s personal financial status, and it doesn’t promise that the property is in perfect condition. Buyers should still arrange independent inspections to uncover issues not disclosed or unknown by the seller.
