Home Buyers Inspection
Why you need a Home Inspection
Buying property with the “voetstoots” clause in the Offer to Purchase puts you at risk. As a result, you should have a home buyer’s inspection which is a comprehensive inspection or a critical inspection and report with marked photos of the defects!
Furthermore, if you later discover expensive structural and maintenance faults with your new property, it can be heartbreaking. As a result, you either fix the faults at your own expense or go the legal route.
That is why the PPRA (Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority) advises all prospective property buyers to have a Home Buyers Inspection.
At THE HOME DETECTIVE, I specialise in providing professional comprehensive home inspections for buyers. In fact, my detailed inspection report will help you to make an informed decision on whether to buy or not.
A timely home inspection can also save you expensive litigation post-purchase. Moreover, I am here to help you make the right purchasing decision. Unlike sellers and estate agents who do not have your interests at heart.
What does it include?
When you choose me to carry out your home buyer inspection, I will carry out a thorough, detailed pre-purchase home inspection. I look at a variety of different facets, from top to bottom, including:
- Roofing
- Ceilings
- Floors
- All walls
- Structural integrity (roof and structure)
- Heating and cooling
- Plumbing, electrical and gas
- The condition of the property’s exterior space (stand and property walls)
Inspection report
Upon completion of the physical inspection of the property, I will compile an extensive and detailed home pre-purchase home inspection. The comprehensive inspection report will be available within 3 working days of the inspection.
I am an internationally certified home inspector. I work within the strict Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI).
With my experience, I’m in a unique position to provide you with a highly professional, home buyers home inspection report. As a result, you can rely on the information in the comprehensive report before you buy your home.
I am passionate about helping people find a structurally sound home. Furthermore, I will ensure that you have as much information as possible about a property before you buy it. Therefore, this will make your purchasing decision easier and take the stress out of the transaction.
Also, my pre-purchase home inspection and the report will not cost you an arm and a leg. In short, my fee is a fraction of the purchase price of the property you wish to buy!
Finally, don’t forget to put an inspection contingency in your “Offer to Purchase”.
