The Seller makes no representation about compliance with any current building, installation, or energy standard, and the Buyer acknowledges that homes built before June 15, 1976 predate the federal HUD construction standard, may lack a HUD label, and can be difficult to finance, insure, relocate, or place in a community. The Seller discloses the following as required by applicable law: [REQUIRED DISCLOSURES, e.g., lead-based paint for pre-1978 homes, known flood history, prior insurance claims].

10. 10. Disclaimer

    This template is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Manufactured home transfers are governed by state law and vary substantially: some states title these homes through the motor vehicle agency, others through a housing or manufactured housing division, and a home affixed to land may have to be transferred by deed instead. Many states require a tax clearance certificate, a notarized signature, or a moving permit before a title can be transferred, and federal HUD standards apply to homes built after June 15, 1976. Confirm the process with the titling agency in your state and consult a licensed attorney before completing the sale. Use of this template does not create an attorney-client relationship with ScanContract.
