Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The statutory disclosure duty concerns material defects known to the seller, unknown to the buyer and not discoverable by the buyer with ordinary care: latent defects. Patent defects are discoverable on ordinary inspection and do not fall within that specific disclosure duty. Producing title documents, executing the proper conveyance and paying the prescribed pre-sale outgoings are among the other section 55 duties.
