However, the seller’s listing agent is required to provide a property disclosure statement. This form is provided by the Utah Association of Realtors to be used only by licensed members.

Buyer Beware

Utah is a caveat emptor state, which means that the seller of residential property is not liable for defects in the property found following the sale. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that the seller must disclose material defects that are undiscoverable from a standard inspection (Mitchell v. Christensen, 2001 UT 80). Therefore, the buyer should have a professional inspection of the premises completed prior to purchase to avoid liability. If the property is contaminated due to previous storage, manufacturing, or use of methamphetamine on the premises, the seller must disclose this information to the buyer before executing an agreement (§ 57-27-201).
