Short answer
Tell the buyer. Section 7307 of the Real Estate Seller Disclosure Law says that if information on the form becomes inaccurate before final settlement, the seller shall notify the buyer of the inaccuracy. Keep proof of when and how you sent the notice.
The update duty
Section 7307 covers what happens after the form is delivered. If the information disclosed is subsequently rendered inaccurate prior to final settlement, the seller must notify the buyer of the inaccuracy. That might be a new leak, a failed appliance, a discovered pest problem or a corrected fact about a past repair.
How to do it
Send the update in writing so there is a record. Email plus a signed form is a common approach. Ask your agent or attorney for the proper wording, and keep the date and delivery proof. A buyer can then decide to adjust terms, ask for repairs or end the deal if the contract permits.
Why it matters
Section 7311 limits a buyer to actual damages and gives two years from settlement to sue, while section 7308 bars knowing concealment. A seller who updates promptly is in a stronger position than one who stays silent. Silence about a problem you know is the risky path.
What does not change
The law does not require you to investigate after delivering the form. It requires you to update for facts you learn. This page is general information and not legal advice. A Pennsylvania real estate attorney can review a disputed disclosure. Make a habit of rereading the form just before settlement. A walk-through the day before closing is a good time to spot anything that no longer matches what you wrote.
Selling for cash instead
If the closing is dragging on while issues pile up, a faster, as-is process may fit some sellers better. You can also ask Kaizen Home Buyers for a cash offer.
