BUILDING OR BUYING?
|
Whether you are building or buying: BE INFORMED.
Building or buying a home will always be the most important decision and also one of the most profitable investments you will ever make. No house - not even a NEW house - is without defects. Be informed and avoid buyer's remorse.
Ensure that your offer to purchase is subject to a favourable inspection by Home Inspector.
We conduct a thorough inspection from the roof to boundary walls and supply a comprehensive written report, including photos detailing all the defects, the remedy and the cost to repair.
You can NOW make an informed decision, or even negotiate a better purchase price.
Most building disputes relate to
- poor quality of work,
- incorrect material being supplied,
- suppliers not honouring warranties on building material, and
- fixing of defects that were not identified during the early stages of construction.
Why Home Inspector?
- Home Inspector services include technical and legal advice on building project inspections.
- Home Inspector will inspect the building project, take photographs and report on non-compliance with building regulations.
- Home Inspector reports on the quality of building work.
- Home Inspector will set up an on-site meeting, with the contractor and owner, to inspect and discuss defects.
- Home Inspector’s services include a tailor-made package to suit the client's individual needs, consisting of e.g. electricity certificates, roof certificates and compact tests.
Whether you are building or buying, a home inspection by professionals offers peace of mind and a protected investment.
The South African concept voetstoots.
A standard inclusion in all deeds of sale, implying that the property is bought as is. The clause removes the seller's obligation to repair any defects on the premises any time after you have taken lawful possession of the property. The concept voetstoots therefore limits the buyer’s legal remedies in the case of latent defects. Home Inspector therefore strongly recommends careful inspection of each and every angle of the property you intend purchasing.
