- 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 655.00 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 R 655.00 per hour or part thereof.
- 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 740.00 applies.
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.
- If faults are found: A detailed report and repair quotation will be provided after payment of the inspection invoice.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR REPAIRS
RE-INSPECTIONS
If another contractor performs the repairs, ensure they are qualified to issue your COC. We cannot be held responsible for third-party workmanship. A re-inspection (for example, when an insurance company uses its own contractor) will incur a call-out fee equivalent to the initial inspection fee.
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.
