Candid Home Inspection Services operates within the more Cape Town metropole, Somerset West, Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Paarl, and the Overberg area. A home inspection evaluates the visible and accessible systems and components of a home (plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, structure, roof, etc.). It is intended to give the client (buyer, seller, or homeowner) a better understanding of the home’s general condition. Most often, a buyer requests an inspection of the home they are serious about purchasing. A home inspection delivers data so that decisions about the purchase can be confirmed or questioned and can uncover serious and/or expensive repair defects that the seller/owner may not be aware of. It is not an appraisal of the property’s value, nor does it address the cost of repairs. It does not guarantee that the home complies with local building codes or protect a client if an item inspected fails in the future. [Note: Warranties can be purchased to cover many items.] A home inspection should not be considered a “technically exhaustive” evaluation but rather an evaluation of the property on the day it is inspected, considering normal wear and tear for the home’s age and location. A home inspection can also include, for extra fees, Radon gas testing, water testing, energy audits, pest inspections, pool inspections, and several other specific items that may be indigenous to the region of the country where the inspection takes place. Home inspections are also used (less often) by a seller before listing the property to see if there are any hidden problems that they are unaware of, and also by homeowners simply wishing to care for their homes, prevent surprises, and keep the home investment value as high as possible.
