Please read the terms and conditions and accept them using the checkbox below.

INSPECTION FEES

Note – we have two options for paying the inspection fees. After accepting the terms and conditions, please indicate your preferred payment method:

Discounted inspection fees for upfront payment – Inspection fees are due and payable upon completion of the inspection (EFT or COD), before the release of certificates and/or reports.

The pricing for houses listed below applies to standard homes (3–4 bedrooms, single‑dwelling premises) and covers an inspection time of up to 1.5 hours. If the property is significantly larger or includes additional features (pools, flatlets, multiple structures), the inspection may exceed 1.5 hours and will be charged at R 595.00 per hour or part thereof.

For larger properties such as farms, industrial and commercial premises, mansions, guest houses, etc., our fees will be charged at R595.00 per hour or part thereof for upfront payment (R685.00 per hour for payment on transfer).

Additional travel costs may apply for inspections outside the general Cape Town area (Peninsula).

For cases where only one inspection is required per property (e.g. only a beetle inspection), a minimum call‑out fee of R 685.00 applies, and the inspection fee must be settled upfront. Payment on transfer is not available for this scenario.

PROCEDURES

Inspection: The first step in obtaining a COC is to inspect the property to meet the required standards. Inspection fees are payable whether our quote for repairs is accepted or not.
If no faults are found: A COC will be issued at no additional cost once the inspection invoice is paid or an undertaking is received from the attorney.
If faults are found: A detailed report and quotation for repairs will be submitted after payment of our inspection invoice or receipt of an attorney’s undertaking.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR REPAIRS

RE-INSPECTIONS

Should you engage another contractor for the repairs, ensure they are qualified to issue your COC. We do not take responsibility for the workmanship of other parties. Occasionally, we may perform a re‑inspection (e.g. when an insurance company uses its own contractor to replace a burst geyser). A call‑out fee equivalent to the initial inspection fee will apply.

REPAIR COSTS (only applicable if faults are found and the repair quotes are accepted)

If repair costs are settled upfront (COD or EFT upon completion of repairs), you will receive a 15 % discount. Payment is due upon presentation of the invoice, before the release of certificates. A 50 % deposit is required before repair work can commence.

Special arrangements can be made to settle repair costs upon transfer. We will require a written undertaking from your transferring attorney before the repairs are scheduled.

PROCEDURES

Upon accepting the repair quotation: Indicate whether payment for repairs will be COD (15 % discount) or upon transfer (full price with a written undertaking from the attorney to settle from the sale proceeds).
Upon completion of repairs: The COC will be issued once payment is made or based on a written undertaking from the attorney.

CANCELLED SALE

If the property sale is cancelled, the seller remains liable for all outstanding invoices, which become payable immediately.

CALLOUT FEES

Our call‑out fee (minimum charge) for inspections, maintenance or repairs is R 680.00 excluding VAT.

REPAIR COSTS(only applicable if repair quotes are accepted)

Repair costs must be settled upfront. A 50 % deposit is required before repair work can begin, and you will receive a deposit invoice. The balance is due upon completion of the repairs and must be paid before certificates are released.
