ARROWS negotiated a significant discount on the purchase price for the client due to hidden defects.
ARROWS Law Firm represented a buyer of real estate who, after the transfer, discovered significant hidden construction defects that fundamentally affected the value and use of the house. Our legal team conducted an expert assessment of whether the defect met the legal definition of a hidden defect, taking into account the age of the building and relevant case law. We arranged for an independent expert opinion to be prepared, which precisely determined the origin of the defect, its extent, and economic impact, which was crucial for formulating the client's claim.

We then prepared complete legal documentation—notification of the defect to the seller, calculation of the claim for a discount on the purchase price, and a pre-action notice—and took over all subsequent negotiations on behalf of the client. Arguments supported by expert documentation made it possible to quickly reach an agreement on financial compensation and reimbursement of repair costs without the need to initiate legal proceedings. The result was an effective and quick resolution of the dispute, which fully protected the client's investment.
