Buyer Beware

West Virginia is considered a “buyer beware” state because there is no legal requirement for a property seller to disclose the condition of the premises to interested buyers. Therefore, to avoid liability, the buyer should have the property professionally inspected before finalizing a purchase agreement. If a property is being sold on behalf of its owner by a licensed agent, the agent is legally prohibited from misleading the buyer or misrepresenting the residence to influence the sale (§ 30-40-19(a)).
