Vapor barrier wall in purchased house wrong side hidden defect

[searayn]

Discover after the purchase that the vapor barrier is on the cold side outside the insulation.
What do you think about hidden defects? Can this be claimed?

The "new" neighbor had a similar situation; he had the entire house corrected, and the insurance covered the cost. It was thus considered a hidden defect. The discovery was made when a tradesman was about to remodel the porch. The previous owner had a company that switched from an aluminum facade to lock paneling, a catastrophe how a company can make such a fundamental mistake, absolutely incredible!

Thanks Mats!
