Upper Dublin Township commissioners will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. to consider an ordinance requiring sellers in qualifying real estate transactions provide relevant information about the property to prospective buyers, and to require prospective buyers to sign a statement confirming receipt of the information. The information to be disclosed would include an official, township-approved subdivision plan or land development plan, the record plan, and certain other facts applicable to the property. The disclosure would be required for real estate transferred within a certain time period and when the proposed transfer is the first conveyance following approval of a major subdivision; a conveyance made as part of the construction of a home or other building on the lot; the real estate is an unimproved lot proposed for residential development/construction; the building or structure is new residential construction that has not been previously occupied, and the proposed buyer has received a one-year or longer written warranty covering such construction; the dwelling has been inspected for compliance with the applicable building code; and a certificate of occupancy or a certificate of code compliance has been issued for the dwelling. The hearing will be held in the Upper Dublin Public Library, 520 Virginia Ave., Fort Washington. The draft ordinance was included in the April 8 meeting agenda. The Suburban Realtors Alliance staff has been in contact with Upper Dublin officials regarding the ordinance.
