IPI help South African Property Buyers avoid the painful lesson of hind sight; whether buying, building or investing, for Peace of Mind, Financial Protection and delivering a Valuable Negotiating Tool, obtaining a Property Inspection Report.
What is a Property
Inspection service ?
A property inspection highlights any patent
(and possible latent) defects within a
property. Properties in South Africa are sold
‘voetstoots’. This means that defects spotted
after the sale has been concluded, now
becomes the responsibility of the new home
owner. Such defects can cost hundreds of
thousands of Rands to repair.
To avoid this occurrence, it is essential that
home buyers make their offer to purchase
subject to an IPI report.
The concept of property inspections is
established in Europe, America and Australia
and in some instances has become
compulsory prior to transfer.
