Disclosure by vendors - 1,2

Farrand, J.

Disclosure by vendors - 1,2 - 1986 - Estates Gazette 280(6311) 22 November 1986,961-963 .

Abridged versions of two Blundell Memorial Lectures 1986 . The first describes exceptions to the rule of caveat emptor governing disclosure of information under the law of contract in the conveyancing of residential property . Suggestions are made to achieve a greater degree of disclosure. The second examines, in the light of demand for change, three non-legal issues to ascertain whether suggested improvements would prove to be satisfactory. These are vendor valuations , certificates of mortgageability and vendor surveys . Concludes,that a case for change has not been proved and that the principle of caveat emptor, as it applies to house purchase, should remain undisturbed.
