Aurel Zaloshnja - YOUR STRESS-FREE GUIDE TO SELLING YOUR OWN HOME

This form is a kind of a report card on a property and contains details on its construction and current condition. It is part of the broker's brokerage contract and must be given to any interested buyer and to the buyer's building inspector. Where appropriate, incidents sustained by the property, such as water damage or infiltration, soil or structural problems, are recorded therein. This enables the seller to indicate how these problems have been remedied and to reassure potential buyers. Furthermore, a seller who has not lived in the property, for example in the case of a succession, must complete the form to the best of his knowledge and specify why he cannot answer certain questions. The seller's broker exercises his advisory role to support his client and help him formulate the answers properly, with utmost transparency and honesty. This declaration is essential to protect both the seller and the potential buyer. The following information must be provided on this form, in good faith and to the best of your knowledge:

year of construction and year of purchase of your property;

current mortgage status;

servitudes;

any water damage;

soil contamination;

presence of pyrite, radon, dry rot, asbestos, etc.;

condition of the roof, plumbing, heating;
