Buyers will be able to claim due to defects in the goods two years after the purchase.

Buyers will be able to go to court due to defects in goods and real estate even two years after the purchase if they discover defects within the period established by law. The Government Committee on Legislative Actions has approved the appropriate amendments to the Civil Code, a Cabinet source told TASS.

According to the new rules, after discovering a defect, the buyer will have 3 years to file a claim. This will be counted from the moment the seller has been notified of the defect. The amendments were prepared in accordance with the decision of the Constitutional Court. The reason was the case of a resident of Astrakhan, who bought non-residential land for more than 5 million rubles and faced constant flooding.
