Voetstoots or Oops-Stoops? Am I Protected if I do not Disclose to the Buyer the Hidden Flaws on My Immovable Property?

You
probably want to sell your property, and you are unsure whether you should
disclose defects that are not visible... to the naked eye. Perhaps you wonder: “What
if I tell the buyer that the swimming pool is on its last days, today it works,
tomorrow it may not?” After wrestling with this thought, you decide not to
disclose such a defect.
