Form Outline

The TREC 55-1 form is organized into the following sections:

  1. Header and Disclaimer
    Identifies the property and establishes that the disclosure is based solely on the seller's knowledge, not a warranty or substitute for inspections.
  2. Seller Occupancy Status
    Establishes whether the seller currently lives in the property or has vacated, and if so, for how long.
  3. Appliances, Systems, and Equipment Inventory
    Comprehensive inventory of all appliances, systems, and equipment. Seller marks presence of each item and discloses any known defects or repair needs.
  4. Smoke Detectors
    Asks whether working smoke detectors are installed per state code. Includes provisions for hearing-impaired detector installation.
  5. Structural and System Defects
    Asks seller to disclose known defects in structural elements and major building systems.
  6. Environmental and Property Condition Issues
    Covers environmental concerns, pest history, soil issues, drainage, water damage, and significant property history items affecting value or habitability.
  7. Items Needing Repair
    Broad catch-all asking if seller knows of anything needing repair not covered in prior sections.
