Question
Is a property disclosure required to sell a church (has not been used as a church in years)?
Also, is an attorney required to sell a property in NYS?
Dear Donna,
Thank you for your question.
A NYS property disclosure is required for a single family residential property unless the seller opts for the $500 credit.
So, what you are buying is the issue. Is it a church now or a single family home?
An attorney is not required, but considering the value of the transaction and potential problems you should have a real estate attorney on your side. The cost is only around $1000-2000. Let them have all the headaches.

Expertise
I am able to answer questions related to buying or selling residential real estate in New York. There are many questions buyers and sellers have about the process of buying or selling a home that they are afraid to ask or that might seem too simple to ask. For instance: in a house, why do some doors open in and some doors open out?
