The Kansas purchase agreement facilitates the purchase and sale of a home. The buyer typically uses this form to submit an offer for the seller to accept or counter. The contract must record critical transaction details such as the property’s monetary value, final closing date, financing stipulations, and any buyer/seller contingencies.
If both parties agree to its conditions, they may sign the document to establish a legal contract.
Required Disclosures
Convicted Persons Disclosure Statement (§ 58-3078) – Kansas law mandates that this statement be attached to all purchase agreements prior to signing the contract. (Included in the Kansas purchase agreement.)
Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (42 U.S. Code § 4852d) – Any dwelling that was built before 1978 requires the seller to furnish the purchaser with all records pertaining to the presence of lead paint within the residence and an EPA approved guide.
