Instructions to Property Owners
1. e Residential Property Disclosure Act (G.S. 47E) (“Disclosure Act”) requires owners of residential real estate (single-family
homes, individual condominiums, townhouses, and the like, and buildings with up to four dwelling units) to furnish buyers
a Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement (“Disclosure Statement”). is form is the only one
approved for this purpose. A disclosure statement must be furnished in connection with the sale, exchange, option, and
sale under a lease with option to purchase where the tenant does not occupy or intend to occupy the dwelling. A disclosure
statement is not required for some transactions, including the rst sale of a dwelling which has never been inhabited and
transactions of residential property made pursuant to a lease with option to purchase where the lessee occupies or intends to
occupy the dwelling. For a complete list of exemptions, see G.S. 47E-2.
2. You must respond to each of the questions on the following pages of this form by lling in the requested information or by
placing a check (√) in the appropriate box. In responding to the questions, you are only obligated to disclose information
about which you have actual knowledge.
a. If you check "Yes" for any question, you must explain your answer and either describe any problem or attach a report
from an attorney, engineer, contractor, pest control operator or other expert or public agency describing it. If you attach a
report, you will not be liable for any inaccurate or incomplete information contained in it so long as you were not grossly
negligent in obtaining or transmitting the information.
b. If you check “No,” you are stating that you have no actual knowledge of any problem. If you check "No" and you know
there is a problem, you may be liable for making an intentional misstatement.
c. If you check "No Representation,” you are choosing not to disclose the conditions or characteristics of the property, even
if you have actual knowledge of them or should have known of them.
d. If you check "Yes" or "No" and something happens to the property to make your Disclosure Statement incorrect or
inaccurate (for example, the roof begins to leak), you must promptly give the buyer a corrected Disclosure Statement or
correct the problem.
3. If you are assisted in the sale of your property by a licensed real estate broker, you are still responsible for completing and
delivering the Disclosure Statement to the buyers; and the broker must disclose any material facts about your property which
he or she knows or reasonably should know, regardless of your responses on the Disclosure Statement.
4. You must give the completed Disclosure Statement to the buyer no later than the time the buyer makes an oer to purchase
your property. If you do not, the buyer can, under certain conditions, cancel any resulting contract (See "Note to Buyers"
below). You should give the buyer a copy of the Disclosure Statement containing your signature and keep a copy signed by
the buyer for your records.
Note to Buyer: If the owner does not give you a Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement by
the time you make your oer to purchase the property, you may under certain conditions cancel any resulting contract without
penalty to you as the buyer. To cancel the contract, you must personally deliver or mail written notice of your decision to can-
cel to the owner or the owner's agent within three calendar days following your receipt of the Disclosure Statement, or three
calendar days following the date of the contract, whichever occurs rst. However, in no event does the Disclosure Act permit
you to cancel a contract after settlement of the transaction or (in the case of a sale or exchange) after you have occupied the
property, whichever occurs rst.
