Professional Property Inspectors (PPI) offers priceless commodity

Advertorial

PROPERTY | BUSINESS NEWS - Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to buying property. Professional Property Inspectors (PPI) is an independent association, offering a comprehensive 500 point report on the condition of a property prior to changing ownership. This is in line with the new Property Practitioners Act 22 of 2019.

A comprehensive property defects disclosure document is now mandatory as part of the property transfer for all sale and lease agreements.

Jakkie Eloff, 'n gesertifiseerde inspekteur vir PPI, bedien die area vanaf Hermanus tot Plettenbergbaai. Eloff het 45 jaar se ryke ervaring in die boubedryf. "PPI se dienste is beskikbaar aan alle partye betrokke in die eiendomsbedryf," sê Eloff.

PPI assigns a field expert to examine and inspect both residential and commercial property, using the PPI software. All parties are then furnished with an unbiased and independent visual report.

The report includes exterior and interior inspection, as well as an audit of energy and water efficiency. Plumbing and electrical certificates of conformance are examined in terms of by-laws and basic procedures, and references to SANS and NHBRC standards are used on snag lists.

"Ons oogmerk is om gerustheid aan veral die koper te gee. Dit is ons plig om in die beste belang van ons kliënte, binne 'n wetlike raamwerk, op te tree. Indien daar 'n duidelike verslag van foute en tekortkominge van 'n eiendom bestaan, bied dit 'n geleentheid vir partye om regverdig te kan onderhandel." Volgens Eloff neem inspeksies 2 tot 3 ure per dag en word koste op 'n glyskaal bereken.
