Asbestos in Roofspace a Hidden Defect

12th April 2022

A buyer of a French property later discovers asbestos in the roofspace during conversion works.

Since 1997 the use of asbestos in properties in France has been forbidden.

Nevertheless, prior to the 1970s its use was widespread, and asbestos is still present in many homes.

In 2007, for properties built prior to 1997, a survey for asbestos became a mandatory as part of the Dossier de Diagnostic Technique (DDT) statutory surveys and reports that must be provided to every buyer.

Nevertheless, there are regularly legal cases concerning asbestos for sales that took place prior to 2007, or for later sales when the professional liability of the survey technician is brought into question.

In case that was recently heard in the French Supreme Court, the Cour de Cassation, a couple sought compensation against the seller for asbestos found in the roofspace, used as part of insulation works.

The couple brought the action on the basis that the presence of asbestos was a hidden/latent defect (vice caché), which they claimed the sellers deliberately withheld from them.

The law on hidden defects is covered by Article 1641 of the civil code which states: "le vendeur est tenu de la garantie à raison des vices cachés de la chose vendue qui la rendent impropre à l’usage auquel on la destine, ou qui diminue tellement cet usage, que l’acheteur ne l’aurait pas acquise, ou n’en aurait donné qu’un moindre prix, s’il les avait connus."

The sale took place prior to requirement for an asbestos survey came into force, but they had only recently discovered the problem during conversion works being undertaken in the attic.

The sellers contested their liability on the basis that their liability to hidden defects was waived in the deed of sale, and that the presence of asbestos alone did not constitute a latent defect since it did not prevent the use of the property and did not present a danger.

A court appointed expert confirmed the presence of asbestos, but their report stated that the alleged defect did not render the property unfit for use as the asbestos was covered by insulation. This meant it had not been visible to the buyer.

The court considered that the sellers were aware of the presence of asbestos at the time of the sale and that, consequently, the waiver clause was not enforceable against the buyers. In other words, that they showed bad faith in not bringing it to the attention of the buyers, particularly as the works had been carried out several years earlier by a contractor engaged by the seller.

In the view of the judges, although the defect did not render the house unfit for use, it significantly reduced its use, since work affecting the attic or the roof could not be undertaken without asbestos removal work being undertaken.

The judges therefore concluded that the house was affected by a latent defect at the time of the sale, which reduced its use to such an extent that, had they known about it, the buyers would only have paid a lower price.

The plaintiffs were awarded damages of €33,000, based on an estimated reduction in the value of the property of 17.5%.

As we have pointed out in previous articles, the case illustrates the importance of a seller providing full information to a buyer about the condition of the property.

True, like Rick Rule has some really great information but if you listen to his interviews from a this year he was saying how amazing investing in Russia was and how awesome it is and when you lose 50% in a share you shouldn't lose your head, etc. Well, how is his investment in his Russia stocks doing now, like POLY, down from 1300p to 150p.

Jim Rogers has been guessing wrong for years now.
He talks a good game and is always worth listening to.
But he has a hopeless record and predicting the future.

He made his money by making huge leveraged bets.
He got lucky, we know that now.

These older guys always end up predicting gloom and doom.
It makes them sound wise.
Much harder to to predict a glorious future.

^It is interesting listening to Jim these days. I've read his books and followed him on an off over 15 years.

Obviously the Russian war has took him by surprise, and I don't think how his bullishness on China is as much as it would be post-Covid. If I was a billionaire living in China, I might be concerned today about what I would say about the CCP and it's banking system (I'm looking at you, Jack Ma). When he first started talking about moving to China, and teaching his children mandarin, China was a very different country to what we know today. With Xi having supreme autocratic power, and it's strict Covid restrictions, Social credit systems, extreme A.I facial CCTV recognition, the China of today is not the same as it was 15 years ago.

Jim Rogers - Ukraine Russia Fears Moving Markets, Gold & Silver

All markets predicted to collapse in case of war with Ukraine

December 14, 2021

American investor Jim Rogers predicted the collapse of all markets in the event of a full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine. His words are quoted by RBC

“If there is a war, the markets around the world will fall – both the American and the Russian,” he said, but stressed that he himself did not believe in such a scenario. According to Rogers, some Russian stocks, on the contrary, will go up. “I haven’t invested too much in Russian stocks, but I’m ready to buy more, their decline is an opportunity to buy more. But I will see where the market will move, ”he said. In the event that war does happen, Rogers advised buying silver.

Earlier, a member of the Federation Council from Crimea, Sergei Tsekov, said that in the event of a hypothetical war between Russia and Ukraine, the latter could lose Donbass, but Russia’s losses would also be tangible. At the same time, the senator stressed that no one is interested in an armed conflict.

The fact that Moscow has no intentions to invade the territory of Ukraine was previously stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov. At the same time, he stressed that Russia has the right to move troops across its territory in any direction. He also pointed out that Moscow sees a problem in the combat use of Turkish-supplied drones by Kiev, as well as in the fact that “American weapons are approaching our territory.”
