Home Inspections are worth it

Home inspections provide prospective buyers with important, independent information regarding the condition of a property. A home inspection report empowers the prospective buyer to make an informed decision by giving the buyer insight into potential risks concerning the roof, roof cavity, hot water geyser, structural soundness of walls and foundations and other risks concerning fire, flooding, storm and personal safety issues.

Without this vital Information buyers may be prejudiced by the purchase because of the provisions of the Voetstoots clause in their Offer to Purchase.
