Hi everyone!

I got another question... How would you translate "vicio oculto" into English?
I found it in a contract of sale (real estate).

Thanks!!

Nadia the word �oculto� in this context could be translated as undetected, disguised or unrevealed depending on whether the concealment was intentional or not.
On the other hand the word �vicio� could be translated as:

- fault: if you are referring to an error in the construction of the real estate or

- default: if you are referring to a payment failure associated with the sale

Out of these options you can make the combination that you find most suitable : such as undetected default, unrevealed fault, etc

I hope this helps

VICIO OCULTO: latent defect / redhibitory defect

The Boss · 06-03-2007, 10:46 AM

latent defect n. a hidden flaw, weakness or imperfection in an article which a seller knows about, but the buyer cannot discover by reasonable inspection. It includes a hidden defect in the title to land, such as an incorrect property description. Generally, this entitles the purchaser to get his/her money back (rescind the deal) or get a replacement without a defect on the basis of "implied" warranty of quality that a buyer could expect ("merchantability"). Even an "as is" purchase could be rescinded if it could be shown the seller knew of the flaw
