Property Inspections

Comprehensive whole-home health checks for buyers and sellers.

Overview

What's included in our home inspections.

Our flagship inspection delivers a complete, room-by-room assessment of the property — from foundation to roof — supported by photographs, annotations and clear explanations.

A property inspection is a visual examination of the home’s major structure, systems and components. This includes the roof, exterior, basement or crawlspace, foundation and structure, heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, fireplace, attic, insulation and ventilation, doors, windows, and the interior of a residential property.

Home inspectors look for system and major component defects and deficiencies, improper building practices as defined by SANS, those items that require extensive repairs, items that are general maintenance issues, and some fire and safety issues. A general property inspection is not designed to identify building code violations, although some deficiencies identified may also be code violations.

A residential inspection is not technically exhaustive and does not imply that every defect will be discovered. Some defects might be hidden and therefore not detectable. However, these types of defects are normally covered in contracts to protect the buyer/seller.

Home inspection SA  prescribes to the Standards of Practice which serves as a minimum guideline for property inspections. These guidelines describe what is and is not required to be inspected by the various associations mentioned during a general residential inspection. Many inspectors exceed these standards (permissible) and may also offer ancillary services such as inspecting pools, sprinkler systems, Lapas etc.

Ideal for

Buyers doing due diligence, sellers preparing to list, or homeowners wanting peace of mind.
