Hidden Defects in Your New Home or Car? Know Your Rights!

Hidden Defects in Purchases: Know Your Legal Rights In Spain, consumers who discover significant flaws in recently purchased homes or vehicles have legal recourse. A lawyer, Xavi Abat (@xavi_abat), explains that buyers have a six-month window to make a claim against the seller if the defect was pre-existing and not readily apparent. "You can reclaim if the defect is serious, came from before, and you didn't know about it," Abat states in his recent TikTok video. He outlines two main options for buyers: returning the property for a full refund or requesting a price reduction. Furthermore, if the seller was aware of the defect and withheld that information, the buyer can seek additional compensation. Abat's video has gained significant traction, highlighting the importance of consumer awareness and legal protection in property and vehicle transactions. The six-month timeframe is a crucial factor, emphasizing the need for prompt action. His advice underscores the value of seeking professional legal help when facing such situations.
