Spanish term

condiciones no aparentes u ocultas

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Report on building status
Hola,

Tengo otra consulta relacionada con el texto anterior:

No se tuvieron a disposición planos estructurales de la edificación y tampoco se realizaron estudios geotécnicos o estructurales detallados, ni análisis de laboratorio sobre la calidad de materiales existentes o capacidad de soporte de los suelos; dado lo anterior, no es posible asegurar aun 100% su estabilidad o permanencia, por lo que la empresa valuadora y/o el(los) profesional(es) responsable(s) de este informe no asume ninguna responsabilidad por las //condiciones no aparentes u ocultas// de lo estructura valorada.

Me da la impresión que con "condiciones no aparentes u ocultas" quisieron decir simplemente "vicios ocultos"; sin embargo, no estoy muy seguro si "hidden defects" aplicaría en este contexto.


Desde ya, gracias por sus aportes.

@ Manuel
hidden defects is correct. In the UK 'latent' defects is also used.

non-apparent/non-overt or hidden/covert conditions

Better not conflate two separate ideas in the Spanish, especially for insurance purposes, and construe conditions as defects only - they may be physical circumstances.

As the second example sentence shows, a part of building may be non-apparent but not hidden or 'latently defective'.



Example sentence:

Parking permits for those with qualifying disabilities in the UK can now extend in certain circumstances to non-apparent and non-physical conditions.

From the street the scale of the house is deceptively modest, the *second, lower level is non apparent.*
