When you purchase a home, you have the right to know about certain things. Most states require the seller to disclose pertinent information about a property, but this may vary. Some of the information that the seller must disclose include whether the home meets the local building codes and permit requirements, homeowner association dues, any deaths within the past three years on the property, restrictions of the property, and the presence of any neighborhood nuisances. You should check with your state to see what kinds of disclosures are required. You are obligated to disclose all facts that materially affect the desirability and value of the home that you know about.
