Recently, I was told by a Realtor of 30 years experience who is representing the Buyer on one of my listings, that VA required a Lead Based Paint Disclosure on my Sellers home that was built in 1979 and that VA would require that the septic to be drained (I know the septic had to be inspected), but drained as well!? I did call one of my Lenders & he inquired with a VA apprasier and the apprasier said he never heard of that.

I have searched and can not find a list of items that VA requires on repairs or what VA requires the Seller to pay for the Buyer... any help out there?

Thanks,
