Swedish term or phrase: brist i garanti
Here's a tricky one...

Does 'brist i garanti' in this context refer to 'breach of covenant'.

Here's the context. 'Köparen skall ej ha rätt att göra påföljd gällande om Köparen inte skriftligen
reklamerar brist i garanti eller på grund eller kontraktsbrott'

Explanation:
The asker's first instinct IMO was right for real estate = land.

The brist as a shortcoming is wide enough to cover a breach.

insufficient warranty / insufficient warranty coverage


Explanation:
A more common expression in Swedish is "otillräcklig garanti." Examples from links below:
Här kommer ytterligare ett exempel på brist i Apples garanti. Det Apple kallar garanti är ingen garanti i ordets juridiska mening. Den ger inte konsumenten bättre rätt än lagen. Vidare har Apple i sina garantivillkor kryphål som befriar Apple från varje ansvar.

Varning för otillräcklig garanti. Iphone 4 har bara garanti mellan 0 och +35 grader. Följden blir att Iphoneägare riskerar att inte få någon ny telefon om den går sönder. Försäkringsbolaget If, som får in många anmälningar om trasiga Iphones, slår nu larm om Apples usla garantivillkor.

Google Apple warranty and Apple warranty coverage for examples in English.
