It's common knowledge that a house can develop many structural defects over time. And according to the law (see 'voetstoots'), if you so much as fill a crack to hide it before the sale - and it opens up again within 3 years - your buyer can come back against you with a claim. If the home has been given a Homesure certificate however: The Seller is protected against hidden (latent) structural defects He or she does not have the worry of unsuspected and expensive comebacks at a later stage A Homesure inspection thus protects against future costly 'voetstoots' litigation Questionable alterations (carried out by previous owners) can be checked A Homesure Certificate supports and enhances a property valuation Due to the Homesure warranty, saleability is improved The Seller (via the Estate Agent) is better equipped to negotiate a higher price The Buyer is enabled to obtain a satisfactory bond, thus expediting the sale If any repairs are necessary, Homesure will arrange and oversee these Peace of mind is experienced by all parties concerned
