Introduction:
I, [Your Name], residing at [Your Address], being duly sworn, declare under oath as follows:
Statement of Facts:
In the matter of disclosing the condition of the property located at [Property Address], I hereby provide the following comprehensive details to ensure full transparency and compliance with the required real estate transaction disclosures:
-
Structural Integrity: The property has been subject to routine inspections over the years. Known issues include minor cracking in the foundation, believed to be cosmetic rather than structural. The roofing was replaced [Number of Years Ago] years ago, and there are no known issues currently. However, some areas of the exterior walls show signs of wear and require repainting.
-
Water Damage: There was an incident of water damage approximately [Number of Years Ago] years ago due to a leaking pipe in the bathroom. The issue was professionally addressed, and damaged materials were replaced. No subsequent incidents have occurred, to the best of my knowledge.
-
Plumbing and Electrical Systems: The plumbing system was partially updated [Number of Years Ago] years ago. No significant issues have been noted since. The electrical system is original to the house, with minor updates for safety compliance. An electrical inspection [Time Frame] ago confirmed that the system is in good working condition, though future upgrades may be beneficial.
-
Heating and Cooling Systems: The HVAC system was last serviced [Time Frame], with no major issues reported. Regular maintenance has been performed to ensure its operational efficiency.
-
Pest Infestations: There has been a history of termite treatment conducted [Number of Years Ago] years ago, with no recurrence observed. Routine pest control measures are in place to prevent common infestations such as rodents or insects.
-
Hazardous Materials: To my knowledge, the property does not contain asbestos. Lead-based paint may be present in some of the original structures built before 1978, although no specific assessments have been conducted to confirm this.
-
Land and Environmental Conditions: The property is not located in a designated flood zone. However, soil testing has never been conducted, so I cannot provide detailed information regarding soil contamination or other environmental hazards.
-
Legal Encumbrances: There are no known legal encumbrances affecting the property, such as easements, zoning violations, or liens, that have not been satisfactorily resolved.
-
Any Other Known Defects or Issues: There are no additional known defects or issues with the property that have not been previously mentioned in this affidavit.
This affidavit is provided in good faith, based on my current knowledge and understanding of the property's condition.
Affirmation:
I solemnly confirm that the information contained herein is accurate and complete. Any intentional or unintentional misrepresentation of material fact may result in significant penalties, including financial penalties or imprisonment. I understand that this affidavit may be used as evidence in court and I am willing to testify to it if necessary.
