Forms Needed To Approve VA Offers

The VA says VA Form 26-6705 (Offer to Purchase and Contract of Sale), VA Form 26-6705b (Credit Statement of Prospective Purchaser), and VA Form 26-6705d (Addendum to Offer to Purchase — Virginia) are required so the VA can determine the best offer, highest net return/cash equivalent value, assess a buyer's creditworthiness, and obtain state-law acknowledgements needed to accept offers and close sales of VA-acquired properties.

Updated VA Virginia Home Forms Add Time

If you respond to the VA's revised Virginia home-sale forms, the agency estimates 38,040 respondents annually with an average burden of 7.91 minutes per response and a total estimated annual burden of 4,572 hours. You can submit comments on these collections through regulations.gov by March 9, 2026; the OMB Control Number is 2900-0029.
