We just sold the house in Newark this summer, and this is true. ANYTHING that is not within the property lines does not have to be disclosed. However, if a specific question is asked, it should be answered. Better yet, get it in writing.
Our property connected to County land, anything that happened on County land we did not have to disclosed i.e. flooding.
In all fairness Jan, they should have given you a "heads up" about the train, but maybe they didn't think it was a big deal. Still, it would have been the right thing to do. I don't understand why you MUST disclose this if you choose to sell your home. The train is not ON your property. I don't remember anything on the disclosure form indicating this. Who told you you had to do this?
