It is possible for the buyer to request a reduction in the purchase price of the property proportional to the costs of repairing damage to the property. The buyer can also agree with the seller to have the work carried out at his expense. Lastly, the buyer may exceptionally request the cancellation of the sale when:
The value of the corrective work is more than half the paid price to acquire the property, or,
When there is no reasonable solution to remedy the defect or when the contractual condition to acquire it is impracticable.
In this case, the seller must refund the sale price and the buyer must return the property to the seller. Failing an agreement, the buyer has three (3) years from the discovery of the latent defect to take legal action against the seller.
