Washington state to require internet service disclosure when selling house in new year

Starting in the new year, home sellers in Washington will be required to identify their internet provider on signed disclosure forms that include information about plumbing, insulation and structural defects. "Does the property currently have internet service?" the disclosure form will now ask, along with a space to say who the provider is. The law doesn't require sellers to detail access speeds, quality or alternative providers. Though Washington state's new rule doesn't require extensive details about internet connections, it does make connections a potential reason for someone to rescind a purchase agreement. The new paperwork issued by the state says buyers can back out of the purchase of a house within three days of receiving disclosure documents, unless they've otherwise waived their right to participate.
