If defects in a property were visible before the sale, which remedy is not available to the buyer?

In the context of Louisiana law, redhibition pertains to the legal remedy available to a buyer when a product has a defect that significantly impairs its use or value. However, for redhibition to be applicable, the defects must have been hidden or not apparent to the buyer prior to the sale. If the defects were visible and known to the buyer before the transaction, they cannot later claim redhibition, as the buyer accepted the property with its defects.

In this scenario, the buyer is aware of the visible defects and thus cannot invoke redhibition as a remedy. This distinguishes it from other options, such as lesion beyond moiety, negligence claims, or nullification of the sale, which may still be valid avenues for addressing issues with the transaction based on different legal principles.
