Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

Home inspections

Option A is incorrect because Pennsylvania law does not require sellers to obtain home inspections. The law only mandates disclosure of known defects, not professional inspections. Sellers are responsible for revealing what they actually know about the property's condition, not for hiring inspectors to discover unknown issues.

B

A disclosure statement about known material defects

Correct Answer
C

Home warranties

Home warranties are optional products that can be purchased to protect against future repairs. They are not mandated by Pennsylvania's disclosure laws, which focus on existing conditions rather than future protection.

D

Radon testing

Radon testing is not required by Pennsylvania's Seller Disclosure Law. While radon is a known concern in Pennsylvania, testing is voluntary unless specifically required in a particular transaction or local ordinance.

Why is this correct?

B is correct because Pennsylvania's Seller Disclosure Law specifically requires sellers to provide a written disclosure statement about any known material defects in the property. This directly addresses the law's purpose of ensuring transparency about the property's condition without mandating specific actions like inspections or tests.
