Fairfax Interstate Land Sales Act Lawyers

Also referred to as the HUD Full Disclosure Act, the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act of 1968 was designed to protect consumers from fraud and abuse in transactions involving the sale or lease of land.

Under the act, developments of a certain size had to be registered with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It also required the developer to give each prospective owner a property report prior to the signing of any purchase agreement or contract. The property report is a disclosure document that provides relevant information about the lot the person was intending to buy.

A developer's failure to comply with any portion of the act can become extremely important in the event that a dispute arises. The discovery of non-compliance on the part of the developer can give the property owner considerable leverage in the matter. These are complex legal issues, and having a reliable real estate disputes lawyer representing you can help to ensure that your interests are protected.
