the buyer may request to be compensated for moral or material damages
if the real area of the apartment proves to be higher than the one stipulated in the contract and the surplus exceeds 5% of the agreed area, the buyer has to pay the price for the additional 5% or cancel the sale-purchase contract.
if the real area of the apartment does not exceed 5% of the agreed area, the buyer is not obliged to pay an additional price.
