When are sellers disclosures usually given

[UCGal]

I haven’t sold in California… but I sold in Washington State and in Pennsylvania. In both cases I had to fill out disclosure information as part of the listing package. So the listing agent had all the disclosure information before it was listed.

(Both homes were over 100 years old – so there was disclosure.)

The buyer makes the offer so they can set their own terms and conditions. Next time tell the seller you want to make an offer, but would like to see the disclosures first. If they won’t do that for some reason, write into the offer that you want the to receive the disclosures within 24 hours. Of course, if you are buying a property that’s getting multiple offers then your at their mercy, but never pay for an inspection before seeing the disclosures.

BTW, if your realtor is implying to you that it’s OK to get the disclosures the day of the inspection I would have less confidence in their ability to manage the contract and to look out for your best interests. It’s also not fair to the home inspector who gets the last minute cancellation and probably won’t be able to rebook that time slot.

I would disagree with this.
It is generally not realistic to put a time frame of less than 5 days on the seller to deliver disclosures.
Most people need a couple of days to complete the forms (usually more than 50 pages).
Also, the inspection needs to be done asap.
While it would be nice to see if there is an issue that would queer the deal up front, usually the disclosures don’t give you that (at least in my experience). Usually, on a diligent inspection gives you that.
