Extract from the Carrez law

If the floor area is over 5% less than that stated in the deed of sale, the buyer has the right to claim a price reduction from the vendor in proportion to the extent of the overstatement.

The buyer has one year from the date of signature of the final deed of sale to claim this price reduction, under pain of forfeiture.
