A defect in a property that is not immediately obvious and can only be discovered upon a more thorough inspection. Latent defects can include issues such as structural problems, problems with the electrical or plumbing systems, or issues with the foundation. These types of defects can be costly to fix, and can be difficult to detect without a thorough inspection by a professional.
