Hidden defect in owner-occupied home

Questioner

I bought a house on October 4th. In the meantime, Enexis has come by to connect the electricity and they saw that my meter box was not in order. Since the owner of the house and not Enexis is responsible for this, I asked an electrician to make the meter cupboard safe again. I have it in writing from the electrician that the meter box did not comply with NEN1010, which it must do according to the law. The purchase agreement states the following: "The seller warrants that up to the date on which he signs this purchase agreement, no improvements or repairs have been prescribed or announced by the government or by utility companies that have not yet been carried out or have not been properly carried out. If on or after the day of signing and before the moment of delivery an improvement or repair is announced or prescribed by the government or utility companies, the consequences of the announcement or notice are for the account and risk of the buyer. The announcement or notice is for the account and risk of the seller if it is related to the non-compliance with the obligations arising from the law or this purchase agreement for the seller. So I think the risk lies with the seller as it does not comply with the law and regulations. Should I report this directly to the seller by letter (within 2 months of transfer) or should I do this via the estate agent? I don't know if it's important, but the selling broker also didn't inform me about the fact that Enexis had cut off the electricity and gas lines at the time with a bailiff.

The issue is whether the seller was contacted before the house was offered for sale to you and accepted. What was the reason for closing, a backlog? Then that is not relevant to this issue.
