Reports are made expressly for the customer and are confidential. It is a thorough and accurate summary of findings, not a computer-generated checklist with generic data. If appropriate, supporting snapshots will be provided with the findings to help describe specific flaws.

The study not only discusses obvious flaws, but it also offers maintenance and prevention tips.

The most typical property inspection request is for this one. A professional property inspection is a look at the house’s current state. It is not a test, a municipal inspection that verifies local code compliance, or an evaluation (market value estimate). The inspection won’t determine if a home is good or bad; rather, it will point out any flaws already present and forecast future issues.

The price for the inspection and findings report depends on a number of different factors, but the typical rate is R 3,500 for a typical three-bedroom home. Larger properties need separate quotes.
