Utah law requires sellers to disclose known material defects in a property before closing. When a seller conceals or misrepresents known problems — foundation issues, water damage, environmental hazards, pest infestations, or unpermitted work — the buyer has legal remedies including rescission of the sale or damages for the cost of repair. We represent buyers defrauded by dishonest sellers.
Utah's Disclosure Requirements
Utah Code requires sellers of residential property to complete a Seller's Property Condition Disclosure Form disclosing known material defects. Sellers cannot knowingly make false statements or conceal known problems. Violations expose sellers to liability for fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of contract.
Remedies for Disclosure Fraud
If a seller fraudulently concealed or misrepresented property conditions, you may be entitled to: rescission of the purchase agreement (undoing the sale), compensatory damages (cost to repair the undisclosed defects), and in cases of intentional fraud, punitive damages. We analyze your situation and pursue the most favorable remedy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to sue for seller disclosure fraud?
Utah's statute of limitations for fraud is generally three years from discovery of the fraud (not from the sale date). However, evidence preservation is critical — if you discover concealed defects, document them immediately and contact an attorney before making repairs that could affect the evidence.
