A patent defect is visible and reasonably discoverable during an inspection, while a latent defect is hidden and may only emerge after the sale. Although a voetstoots clause generally protects sellers, it does not shield those who knowingly conceal latent defects.

Understanding the difference can protect both buyers and sellers from costly legal disputes.
