There are many reasons why properties don’t sell but the only way to fully grasp or understand why they don’t sell is to have an UNBIASED HOME INSPECTION / HOUSE CHECK done on YOUR home.
Not your agent as they always don’t want to give you the real truth about your home as the don’t inspect a home thoroughly as not to incite the owner or jeopardies their mandate, but an INDEPENDENT INSPECTION person who has no ties to the property, seller or potential buyers.
How will this help sell MY HOME?
The UNBIASED PROPERTY INSPECTION will be a TRUE evaluation and condition of your property.
The report will highlight areas that require maintenance and attention in order to put your home in the best possible light in order to facilitate a quick sale for the BEST possible market price at time of sale.
This is what the report highlights and does for the potential buyer.
1.The report highlights all the latent and patent defects which you as the homeowner can choose o rectify before you place the house on the market. (this will ensure that the property is in the best possible presentable position to attract the BEST OFFERS for your home.
2. It shows you as the HOMEOWNER care for your house and SERIOUS about selling your home.
3. It allows all the paperwork to be ready for the sale of the Home which the SPLUMA act requires from every home owner. (This speeds up the process when an offer is presented and avoids any hold ups with transfer due to incomplete paperwork and requirements).
What paperwork is required to be SPLUMA compliant and ready to sell my house.
- THE PLANS – A copy of the plans are required to ensure that they are compliant with council and recorded correctly at time of sale.

- If the above is all correct the municipality with issue a clearance certificate in order for the sale of the house to proceed.
