Seller Property Information Form

Everything a buyer will ask, gathered before they ask it.

Free, no sign-up. 8 sections. Edit it to fit your own transaction.

Every property transaction reaches a point where the buyer's lawyer asks the seller to disclose what they know. Filling that in accurately, early, is the single most effective thing a seller can do to keep a sale moving — most collapses trace back to something discovered late that could have been said at the start.

The obligation to disclose varies. Some systems require extensive written disclosure and penalise omissions; others operate closer to buyer beware. In all of them, a documented, honest answer given early is a defence, and a discovered omission is a reason for a buyer to renegotiate or walk.

Anything on site that does not belong to you

Check this locally. This template is a general starting point, not legal advice. Property, tenancy and consumer law differ in every country and often between regions of the same country. Check what is required where the property is located, and take professional advice before signing or serving anything that creates a legal obligation.

Complete it before you list, not after you accept

A buyer who receives a full disclosure at the offer stage has less to discover later, and each late discovery is an invitation to renegotiate. Sellers who prepare this early consistently report faster, quieter transactions.

Disclose the defect, and the fix

A disclosed and repaired problem, with an invoice attached, is reassuring. The same problem discovered by a surveyor after an offer is agreed reads as concealment, whether or not it was, and costs far more than the repair.

Gather the paperwork alongside the answers

Approvals, certificates, warranties, service records and invoices should be collected while you complete this form. Assembling that file in advance removes the most common cause of delay at the legal stage.

Common questions

Do I have to disclose problems?

The legal obligation varies by country and can be substantial, but the practical answer is the same everywhere: undisclosed problems surface during a survey or legal enquiries, and they cost you more in renegotiation than they would have in candour.

What if I do not know the answer?

Say so, in writing, rather than guessing. "Not known to the seller" is a legitimate answer and is far safer than a confident statement that turns out to be wrong, which is the position that creates liability.

Should I give this to buyers before an offer?

Making it available on request is usually to your advantage. It signals a well-run sale, filters out buyers who would have withdrawn later anyway, and removes surprises from the point where a renegotiation would otherwise happen.
