New house and the discovery of “surprises”

You have just bought a new property, what a joy !

The big day of moving in arrives and, now that the building is empty, you realize that there are anomalies, signs of mold or other situations that were hidden by furniture or objects during your visits / inspections ?

What are your rights, your obligations ? Above all, it is important to report, in writing, any discovery that you find abnormal to your vendors, even if you still do not know the importance of these anomalies, all within a reasonable delay. This will protect your rights and give you enough time to thoroughly investigate the situation while allowing your vendors to come and see the situation themselves.

Better to be alert and prevent any problems. Failure to report in writing to your vendors within a reasonable period of time may prove to be fatal for a possible legal recourse.
