Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement — New Hampshire Edition Template

Most states statutorily require sellers of residential real property to deliver a written property condition disclosure to buyers — and even in "caveat emptor" states, failure to disclose known material defects can support fraud and misrepresentation claims. This comprehensive Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement gives sellers a structured, defensible way to disclose what they actually know, and gives agents a paper trail showing the disclosure obligation was taken seriously.

The 8-page template walks the seller through every major system and condition category: structural components (foundation, roof, walls), water intrusion and drainage history, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, well and septic systems, environmental conditions (asbestos, radon, mold, underground storage tanks), pest and wood-destroying-insect history, boundary and easement issues, HOA and assessment obligations, insurance claims history, and known material defects not otherwise covered. Each item uses the Yes / No / Unknown / Not Applicable convention used in most statutory disclosure regimes, with space for narrative explanation.

State disclosure laws vary enormously — New York's Property Condition Disclosure Act (RPL Art. 14, § 462) was amended in 2024 to eliminate the old $500 credit escape hatch and now requires actual delivery of the disclosure; California's Transfer Disclosure Statement (Cal. Civ. Code § 1102 et seq.) is mandatory and has its own prescribed format; other states have their own statutory forms. The included 50-state variation notes flag where a state-prescribed form is mandatory (in which case this template serves as a supplemental disclosure or preparation worksheet) versus where a general disclosure like this one satisfies the obligation. Template only — always confirm your state's current statutory form requirements.

About this New Hampshire Edition: Every form names the brokerage firm, acting through its principal broker, as the contracting party and acknowledges delivery of New Hampshire's mandatory brokerage relationship disclosure, consistent with RSA Chapter 331-A and the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission's rules. New Hampshire permits disclosed dual agency with written informed consent and also authorizes designated agency, so the consent document covers both regimes. New Hampshire has no comprehensive property condition disclosure statute; the seller disclosure is built first around the statutory pre-contract disclosures (water supply, sewage disposal, insulation, and the radon, arsenic, and lead notices under RSA 477) and then adds a clearly labeled voluntary general-condition section. Closing-related forms are drafted around attorney and title-company closing practice. Electronic signatures are addressed under New Hampshire's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. No association forms are reproduced.
