What happens if a property disclosure form is not provided to a buyer?

When a property disclosure form is not provided to a buyer, it may constitute incompetence or negligence on the part of the seller or the real estate agent involved in the transaction. This form serves an important purpose by informing potential buyers about the condition of the property, including any known issues or defects. By failing to provide this critical information, the seller may be seen as not fulfilling their legal obligations, which can lead to legal repercussions or claims of negligence. The expectation is that sellers will disclose relevant information to ensure that buyers can make informed decisions. Not providing this disclosure can undermine the transparency and trust essential in real estate transactions, potentially leading to disputes or legal actions in the future.
