The Age of Full Disclosure The principal of "Caveat Emptor", let the buyer beware, applies to Real Estate transactions transactions exactly as it does to other purchases, Today, however, a movement towards full disclosure disclosure by Vendors, is rapidly accelerating among Realtors, Lawyers, Real Estate boards, etc. When you make an offer to purchase a home, you are, in effect, agreeing to purchase it in "as is" condition unless otherwise otherwise stated in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale (example, conditional on an acceptable home inspection report), If you discover deficiencies in the home after closing, you probably probably have little recourse unless you are prepared to do battle through the courts, This is where the concept of "Caveat Emptor" will probably rear its ugly head. Today, however, the use of a "Vendor Property Information Statement" (VPIS) is becoming a part of the training and licensing licensing of Realtors in Ontario. More and more they will become part of our listing presentations, Oii these forms, Sellers will be required to disclose in writing pertinent facts about their properties properties to Realtors and perspective perspective purchasers, enabling buyers to make informed decisions and reducing the possibility of costly costly litigation after closing. So it would appear that we arc moving towards an era of consumer protection, away from the idea of "Caveat Emptor", and towards an age of seller accountability an age of full disclosure and "Caveat Vendor," Your comments anti questions questions are always of interest to me anti I welcome the opportun- ity to answer them.can Cosh In 4^ O N • T 4 Savin Take advantage of our Subscription Drive Special you could win $2000.00!
