NOTICES AND INFORMATION

INFORMATION REGARDING THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DISCLOSURE ACT

Generally speaking, the Sellerâ€™s Property Disclosure Act applies to any sale, exchange, installment sales contract, lease with an option to buy, or transfer of an interest in real estate where not less than one and not more than four residential dwelling units are involved. The Act stipulates that certain disclosures have to be made and delivered in a form defined by the Act, before an agreement of sale is signed.

The Act defines nine exceptions, where the form does not have to be used.

1. Transfers that are a result of a court order.
2. Transfer to a mortgage lender that result from a Buyerâ€™s default and subsequent foreclosure sales that result from the default.
3. Transfers by a fiduciary during the administration of a decedentâ€™s estate, guardianship, conservatorship or trust.
4. Transfers from a co-owner to one or more other co-owners.
5. Transfers made to a spouse or a direct descendant.
6. Transfers between spouses that result from divorce, legal separation, or property settlement.
7. Transfers by a corporation to its shareholders as part of a plan of liquidation.
8. Transfers by a partnership to its partners as part of a plan of liquidation.
9. Transfers of new construction that has never been occupied when:
a. The Buyer has received a one-year written warranty covering the construction;
b. The building has been inspected for compliance with the applicable building code or, if none, a nationally recognized model building code; and
c. A certificate of occupancy or a certificate of code compliance has been issued for the dwelling.
In addition to these exceptions, the Act limits the disclosure in the cases of condominiums and cooperatives to the Sellerâ€™s particular unit. It does not impose disclosures regarding common areas or facilities; those elements are already addressed in the laws that govern the resale of condominiums and cooperative interests.

NOTICE TO BUYERS REGARDING UREA-FORMALDEHYDE FOAM INSULATION

Urea-formaldehyde: Urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) is a thermal insulation material that is manufactured at the site of installation and pumped into the space between the walls of the building being insulated where it hardens to form a layer of insulation. The health risks identified by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) included cancer, acute illness such as eye, nose and throat irritation and sensitization. Subsequently, Federal Court decision did overturn the CPSCâ€™S UFFI ban. Said decision did not state that UFFI poses no health risk. What the CPSC failed to establish however, is that the health risk is â€œunreasonableâ€. Tests can be conducted to determine the concentration of formaldehyde gas present in a home. Various tests are available to measure the presence or toxicity of UFFI. A test preferred by the CPSC is the chromotropic acid method. Such information, as is available concerning tests and testing procedures, can be obtained by writing to the United States Consumer Safety Commission, Office of the Secretary, Third Floor, 5401 Westbard Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20207. Should it be desirable to remove UFFI, the cost will vary with the type of home and the accessibility of the insulation. Such costs have been estimated to be in the range of $4000.00 to $20,000.00 but will vary with the type of construction (face brick or siding), the extent of the insulation, the cost of restoration required and other factors.

NOTICE TO BUYERS REGARDING MOLD

Mold: Mold contaminants may exist in the Property of which the Seller, Sellerâ€™s Agent(s) and Auctioneers are unaware. These contaminants generally grow in places where there is or may have been excessive moisture, such as where leakage may have occurred in roofs, pipes, walls, plant pots, or where there has been flooding; these conditions may be identified with a typical home inspection. The Seller, Sellerâ€™s Agent(s) and Auctioneers recommend BUYER obtain a home inspection to better determine the condition of the property. Neither the Seller, Sellerâ€™s Agents nor Auctioneers are experts in the field of mold contaminants. In the event suspect mold contamination is discovered, it is recommended that the Buyers satisfy themselves as to property condition by having a mold inspection performed. The cost and quality of such inspections may vary. Any and all inspections and tests are at the Buyerâ€™s sole expense and obligation. Companies able to perform appropriate inspections may be found in the Yellow Pages or on the World Wide Web under â€œMicrobial or Mold Inspectionsâ€ or â€œEnvironmental and Ecological Services.â€ Buyer understands any unfavorable findings (regardless of the level) are not a condition or contingency of this agreement and agree to release as set forth in section 23 of this agreement.

NOTICES AND INFORMATION

NOTICE TO BUYERS REGARDING RADON

Radon: Radon is a natural, radioactive gas that is produced in the ground by the normal decay of uranium and radium. Studies indicate that extended exposure to high levels of radon gas can increase the risk of lung cancer. Radon can find its way into any air space, including basements and crawl spaces and can permeate a structure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises corrective action if the annual average exposure to radon exceeds 0.02 working levels or 4 Pico Curies/liter. If a house has a radon problem, it usually can be cured by increased ventilation and/or by preventing radon entry.

Any Seller of a pre-1978 structure must also provide the Buyer with any records or reports available to the Seller pertaining to the lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in or about the property being sold, the common areas, or other residential dwellings in multi-family housing. The Act further requires that before a Buyer is obligated to purchase any housing constructed prior to 1978, the Seller shall give the Buyer 10 days (unless Buyer and Seller agree in writing to another time period) to conduct a risk assessment or inspection for the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards.
