The old rules on hidden defects will apply again at the end of the two-year legal guarantee (Art. 1641 and subsequent of the Civil Code).

To be able to invoke hidden defects, you must provide proof of the existence of a defect at the time of sale.

The solutions available are more limited than those available under the legal guarantee rules. You can only claim a price reduction or refund.
