• Connecticut seller disclosure / supported exception. Connecticut section 20-327b requires the applicable residential condition report before the purchaser executes a binder, purchase contract, option or purchase-option lease, subject to its actual exemptions. Provide the current report and required supporting records, or a statement identifying the supported exception; an applicable foreclosure foundation report remains separate from a general exemption. Section 20-327c requires a $500 closing credit if a required report was not furnished, subject to its exception. This agreement preserves that credit and other nonwaivable remedies.
• Connecticut applicable property-specific notices. Review foundation and pyrrhotite information, prior tests, radon, water and sewage, underground tanks, flood conditions, permits and applicable notices in the current disclosure. Comply with applicable smoke/carbon-monoxide affidavit requirements at transfer. The report reflects actual seller knowledge and is not a warranty; buyer inspections remain available under the negotiated period.
• Connecticut association resale records / supported exception. For a covered resale under section 47-270, provide governing documents and the current association certificate, including required assessments, budget, insurance, litigation and other particulars. The association generally has ten business days after written request and the prescribed fee. The buyer may cancel until the applicable period expires: five days after delivery, or seven days after registered, certified or certificate-evidenced mailing, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, or conveyance, whichever occurs first. Apply the actual community and transfer exceptions, including qualifying small-community provisions. The October 1, 2026 condition-report notice also advises requesting a reserve-fund report for communities over twelve units; where a qualifying smaller community has no certificate, seek independent professional and resident information. NavStreet collects the packet or supported scope/exception evidence before offers; this early collection does not shorten statutory rights.
