Seller Disclosure details in California

Priya Daftary
Posted

Hello,

I am in the process of selling my home and was completing seller disclosures. There were couple of questions that talk about disclosing significant defects  and water intrusion. Questions are pasted below:

1. Water intrusion into any part of any physical structure on the Property; leaks from or in any appliance, pipe, slab or roof; standing water, drainage, flooding, underground water, moisture, water-related soil settling or slippage, on or affecting the Property? - 

Is this asking more around more frequent issues or even if I had one time thing - I had a water leak in one of the bathrooms which seeped through the ceiling and caused some ceiling damage. Fixed the leak and the ceiling and brought the ceiling back to previous condition. Do I need to disclose that?

2.  Defects in any of the following, (including past defects that have been repaired): heating, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing (including the presence of polybutylene pipes), water, sewer, waste disposal or septic system, sump pumps, well, roof, gutters, chimney, fireplace, foundation, crawl space, attic, soil, grading, drainage, retaining walls, interior or exterior doors, windows, walls, ceilings, floors or appliances

  • There are so many small repairs we do all the time. How do I decide what to include and what to omit?

Any guidance in this area is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Priya
