West Virginia Property Disclosure Statement

West Virginia generally follows a disclosure regime where sellers must disclose known material defects in residential property. While not every transaction requires a single statewide mandatory form like some states, sellers have a duty to disclose defects they are aware of that affect value, health, or safety. Real estate licensees have specific disclosure obligations.

This template provides a comprehensive, production-ready disclosure statement covering the key areas typically required or recommended in WV transactions (structural, systems, environmental, legal, HOA, etc.).

This statement is based on the Seller's actual knowledge. It is not a warranty. Buyers should obtain independent inspections.
