The state-approved Real Estate Purchase Contract that licensees must use requires a signed written seller disclosure by the Seller Disclosure Deadline and disclosure of known defects that materially affect value and cannot be found by a reasonable inspection.
Vermont: Vermont does not require one general property-condition form. Under 27 V.S.A. 380 a seller must give the buyer flood-map and flood-history information before or with the contract, and a seller with a private well must hand over Department of Health water materials within 72 hours of signing (27 V.S.A. 616).
