Does a home seller have to disclose the property’s condition in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, a seller of a home with one or two dwelling units who is represented by a real estate licensee, or who receives the buyer’s written request, must deliver either the Real Estate Commission’s property condition disclosure statement or, if the seller has never occupied the home and knows of no defect, its disclaimer statement before accepting an offer to purchase, and a buyer may recover actual damages, including the cost of repair, for a missing statement or a known defect left out. If the statement is delivered after an offer is made, the offer may be accepted only after the buyer acknowledges receipt and confirms the offer in writing, and a seller who learns of a new defect must promptly deliver an amended statement. An action must be brought within two years after the transfer, and the prevailing party recovers court costs and a reasonable attorney fee. Transfers under a court order or foreclosure, transfers to a spouse or lineal relative, and newly built homes never occupied are exempt. Federal law separately requires a lead-based paint disclosure when selling most homes built before 1978. This is 60 O.S. §§ 832, 833, 834, 837, 838.
