What to know

  • Answer based on actual knowledge and provide explanations where the form requires them.
  • Do not conceal or paint over a known material defect to avoid disclosure.
  • Update information if a material condition changes before the transaction is concluded.
  • Keep supporting reports, repair records and invoices where they help explain a disclosed issue.
