“Gauteng Property Inspections was a lifesaver.”

We hear this regularly after conducting inspections for our clients, whether it is a Full Home Inspection, Basic Essential Inspection, Snag List Inspection, Damp, Crack or Roof Inspection, or whether we do Construction Quality Control Inspections.

Our knowledge and experience makes all the difference!

We are the only Property Inspection company in South Africa with 2 ITC Certified Roof Inspectors and substantial construction experience.

This is what sets us apart from the competition.

Our reports are not done according to a template. Each and every inspection is tailored to meet the needs of our clients and the properties we review. Do not buy a house before we have done a thorough inspection for you, it is a lot cheaper than incurring any legal fees after you have taken ownership of the property. We will detect most of the potential nightmares that may occur to make your dream home a reality.

We don’t only point out the potential problems with the house you purchase, we educate our clients on the necessary maintenance, how to do it and when. It is important to us that our clients know how to protect their most expensive investment.

When compiling snag lists, we can draw our client’s attention to problems that may arise in the future due to construction errors made by the contractor. We draw your attention to legislation, making it impossible for the contractor to dispute any errors. As a Property Inspection company, we will represent you in meetings with The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), should it come to that.

We regularly do due-diligence inspections for Commercial and Industrial clients, as well as maintenance inspections, and assisting clients in planning their maintenance.

Sectional Title complexes need to have a 10-year maintenance plan in place, and our reports both illustrate the necessary maintenance as well as providing a future plan with the costs these may incur.

When we do a maintenance inspection you can choose if you only want the outside items listed or the inside of the house as well. We will report on when and how maintenance should be done. If necessary, a maintenance plan with costs can be submitted.

Snag Lists Inspection.

It is very important to get a comprehensive Snag List done by a professional who knows the legislation before you take occupation of your house. Read more...

We have construction experience and can advise on problems that will develop in the future because of errors made by the builder. When your house is 12 – 18 months old and problems develop, some builders refuse to repair them, forcing you to take the legal route, which is far costlier than a Snag List inspection. We also check if building was done according to the original plans. If Occupation Certificates were issued in error, we'll assist in laying complaints with the Building Control and Municipal Managers.
