Dear Forms Committee: Why are well tests not addressed on OREF 064 – Notice of Unconditional Disapproval?

OREF 082 – Private Well Addendum does not allow unconditional disapproval of well test results. Instead, the buyer must show deficiencies in the system. Per Section 5, the buyer must provide the seller a notice of intent to declare termination (using OREF 109 – Notice from Buyer to Seller) along with a list of the substantial deficiencies and copies of all test reports. The buyer and seller then have a default of 2 business days to negotiate correction of the deficiencies. The transaction is automatically terminated if an agreement is not reached by 5:00 pm on the last day of the negotiation period.

 

All comments and responses from OREF or its staff, managers, and volunteers are non-legal opinions made for general purposes. Each Forms subscriber must rely solely upon their Principal broker or personal legal counsel for specific advice and instruction. You and your client should independently confirm that the Form(s) you use are legally suitable for the purposes intended and that they are current with respect to all laws and regulations.
