Latent defects lawyer<\/em> Paris: cancel, cut the price or claim damages.<\/span><\/h1>\n

A serious defect, existing before the sale and hidden: three cumulative conditions, and two years to act from discovery. As a latent defects lawyer in Paris, the firm builds the proof through expert assessment, chooses between the action to cancel the sale and the action to reduce the price, and sets aside non-warranty clauses where the seller is not entitled to rely on them.<\/p>\n

The two-year period under Article 1648 of the French Civil Code (Code civil) is a time bar: a late writ of summons is rejected even where the proof of the defect is overwhelming.<\/strong> The condition of the property must be recorded before any repair.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
