A Virginia residential purchase and sale agreement is used by potential home buyers to make an official offer to purchase a property.

In addition to price, the parties may negotiate various conditions such as the closing date, inspection procedures, financing details, and other terms relevant to the offer.

Buyer Beware

Virginia sellers are not obligated to disclose material defects before selling. Unless otherwise agreed upon, it is the buyer’s responsibility to conduct a home inspection to examine the condition of the property. With that said, sellers must still give buyers the necessary disclosure statements, all of which can be accessed below in “Related Disclosures.” (§ 55.1-703)
