Connecticut Residential Property Condition Report

The Connecticut Residential Property Condition Report is a disclosure form that most sellers of one- to four-family residential properties must provide to buyers before a purchase contract is signed. It requires the seller to disclose, to the best of their knowledge, the condition of major systems and features of the home, including the roof, foundation, heating and electrical systems, plumbing, water source, sewage disposal, environmental hazards, and the presence of any known defects. The purpose of the report is to give buyers important information so they can make an informed decision before moving forward with the purchase. This disclosure is required under Connecticut General Statutes Section 20-327b, and sellers who fail to provide it on time may be required to credit the buyer $500 at closing.
