Does the prior existence of a removed swimming pool need to be revealed on a sellers disclosure form when selling a house?
I think it absolutely does, unless you have completely removed all of the swimming pool and its related piping, decks, foundations, etc that might prevent a future owner from using the land in a normal fashion. In our case, we did not remove the entire pool shell from underground so we did indicate this to the people who bought our house. If you hide something like this, and the new owners want to someday install a pool, and can’t do it or find out it will cost them double the normal amount because they have to remove the remains of your old pool first, you are going to be in trouble.
