Which of the following is an example of a material latent defect?

  1. A cracked windowpane

  2. A minor leak in the kitchen sink

  3. A hidden pest infestation

  4. Chipped paint on a door frame

The correct answer is: A hidden pest infestation

A hidden pest infestation is an example of a material latent defect because it is a significant issue that is not readily apparent upon a reasonable inspection of the property. Pest infestations, such as termites or bed bugs, can cause significant damage to the property and pose health risks to occupants. As a material latent defect, it is something that could potentially impact the value or habitability of the property and would need to be disclosed to potential buyers. The other options do not qualify as material latent defects because they are either visible upon inspection (cracked windowpane, chipped paint) or are minor issues that would typically be considered normal wear and tear (minor leak in the kitchen sink).
