We have a corner house and our neighbours who are attached to the house are asylum seekers. When we bought it, it was said that these were quiet people, but now it turns out that he abused his wife and children and has already threatened my wife. We regularly hear the noise of screaming, hitting and crying. We came to live here specifically because we wanted to live quietly in connection with our son and my wife's past. There are already reports to the police and child protection, but nothing is being done for us. What are our options to get rid of this? In any case, we are not going to move because we have just bought and otherwise live beautifully here.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\n \nThere may be a hidden defect, but many aspects play a role in this. Hidden defects are defects that only come to light after delivery. I can only inform you in general terms now because I do not know a number of aspects. What is first decisive is what was agreed in the purchase agreement.\n\n If a warranty provision is included in the agreement, the seller is liable for all hidden defects, provided that it can be said that they hinder normal use as a residential home.\n \nIf no warranty provision is included in the purchase agreement, the conformity guarantee of article 7:17 BW still applies. On the basis of this, the home must comply with the agreement: if the item does not have the properties that are necessary for normal use, it does not comply with the agreement. A buyer may expect that the home has the properties that are necessary for normal use and the presence of which he did not have to doubt, as well as the properties that are necessary for a special use that is provided for in the agreement.\n\n The seller of a home is obliged to report defects in the home\/environment that hinder the normal use of the home, so that the buyer can take the defects into account when making his purchase decision. This is called the seller's duty of disclosure.\n \nOn the other hand, there is the buyer's duty to investigate. After all, the buyer is also obliged to actively inform himself about the condition of the house and circumstances such as neighbours. For example, this could involve hiring an expert to draw up a building report. Therefore, it must also be determined whether the buyer has fulfilled his duty to investigate. After all, if the buyer could have noticed the hidden defect when viewing the house, there is no longer a hidden defect.\n\n If a hidden defect is present (see the requirements above), the buyer can hold the seller liable on the basis of article 7:17 BW for the costs that the seller must incur to remedy the hidden defects. The seller is liable for these costs if it is established that he was or should have been aware of it and subsequently failed to inform the buyer of its existence.\n \nFurthermore, the seller is only liable if the hidden defect prevents normal use of the home.\n\n Furthermore, the seller must be notified in a timely manner. In case law, a maximum of two months after discovery is assumed.\n\n\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55019840340317,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-4043-wij-hebben-een-huurhuis-gekocht-van-een-woningcorporatie-en-zijn-het-enige-koophuis-in-de-straat-wi","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
