Sellers Property Information Form PDF
Please complete this form carefully. If you are unsure how to answer the questions, please give us a call to discuss.
We will send this form to the buyer’s solicitor and it will be seen by the buyer who is entitled to rely on the
information.
For many of the questions you need only tick the correct answer. Where necessary, please give more detailed answers on
a separate sheet of paper. Then send all the replies back to us to forward to the buyer’s solicitor.
The answers should be those of the person whose name is on the deeds. If there is more than one of you, you should
prepare the answers together and both/all sign.
It is very important that your answers are correct because the buyer is entitled to rely on them in deciding whether to go
ahead. Incorrect or incomplete information given to the buyer direct through us or your selling agent or even mentioned to
the buyer in conversation between you may mean that the buyer can claim compensation from you or even refuse to
complete the purchase.
If you do not know the answer to any question it is OK to say so; this is not an exam!
The buyer takes the property in its present physical condition and should, if necessary, seek independent advice, e.g.
instruct a surveyor. You should not give the buyer your views on the condition of the property.
If anything changes after you fill in this questionnaire but before the sale is completed, tell us immediately. THIS IS AS
IMPORTANT AS GIVING THE RIGHT ANSWERS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Please immediately pass to us any notices you have received which affect the property, including any notices which arrive
at any time before completion of your sale.
If you have a tenant, tell us immediately if there is any change in the arrangement but do nothing without asking us first.
You should let us have any letters, agreements or other documents which help answer the questions. If you know of any
which you are not supplying with these answers, please tell us about them.
Please complete and return the additional Fixtures, Fittings and Contents Form. It is an important document which will form
part of the contract between you and the buyer. Unless you mark clearly on it the items which you wish to remove, they will
be included in the sale and you will not be able to take them with you when you move.
