More Testimonials…
I recently signed an offer to purchase on a home without having a home inspection done. Two weeks into the transaction, we noticed damage to the internal and external property due to certain latent defects. The seller and agent never disclosed these defects and were not willing to remedy the situation. At this point, I had no choice but to seek legal advice. I approached Deóne Henderson from Value Add Property Inspections to conduct an inspection on the property and he provided a conclusive report on the property and related defects. Thanks to Deón’s findings and comprehensive report, my legal representation were soon able to resolve this matter. My advice to all prospective buyers is to get a home inspection done prior to signing an offer to purchase! Thank you Deóne for your kindness and support during this process, it is greatly appreciated.
We were very happy with the fast and detailed service provided by Value Add Property Inspection.
They were incredibly quick and were able to meet our requirements without hesitation.
The report was detailed and from that we were able to be better prepared for our new house and have more knowledge to negotiate with.
Thank you
We had a terrific experience working with Value Add Property Inspections.
Deóne was very transparent and even during the inspection advised on things we should should take note of.
Deóne was prepared to take us through the details to clarify anything we were unsure of.
We would definitely refer his service to anyone looking to do a thorough home inspection!
In my dealings with Deóne I have found him to be credible, reliable and trustworthy. We have found him to be a great resource in our journey of finding our dream home. We were on the verge of purchasing a home which could have resulted in us experiencing buyers remorse as we were unaware of the defects and associated high repair costs.His report presented a clear view on the condition of the property and highlighted what it would entail to restore the dwelling to an acceptable condition. His reports are comprehensive and of a high quality. He has shared useful contacts with us and has not hesitated to highlight when other expertise are required. He is always available to provide feedback.
Deóne Henderson performed Quality Control inspections on my homes in Waterfall Estate. My only regret is contacting him three months into the build – I should have had him from the start. Not knowing anything about building the entire process is quite daunting. It helped me considerably having somebody on site ensuring that everybody was building to a good standard.
Deóne also provided a knowledgeable ear on all things related to the construction and helped me with ensuring all paperwork was up to date. He was also instrumental in a favourable settlement with a cash-strapped Builder.I would definitely recommend using him to remove the stress of the building process.
We were skeptical at first to get an inspection done due to the cost but boy oh boy was it worth it!
Not only did Deóne reveal the latent defects but we used the report as a bargaining tool (lets face it we don’t usually budget to fix up damp problems!) and we ended up reducing the asking price by R150 000 !!!
Absolutely worth it!
Deóne conducted approximately 50 QC (Quality Control) inspections over a period of a year at a property in Bryanston where I appointed a Developer to construct my brand new home. Deóne justified his inspection fees multiple times over by observing non conformances in relation to specifications and construction standards and communicated these deviations in written reports.
In effect this means his services were free because the value of the remedial work outweighed his service fees. He had a significant impact on the quality of workmanship delivered by the Home Builder by providing facts which demanded the attention of the Developer. I would recommend any Home Owner undertaking a building project to consider applying weekly QC inspections provided by Value Add Property Inspections.
I used Deóne Henderson to carry out an inspection on a property before I purchased it. He was extremely helpful and provided me with a very thorough and well written report which enabled me to successfully negotiate on the purchase price of the property.
In addition the detail in the report helped me to prioritize work that would be needed on the property and to have a rough estimation of how much work would need to be done as well as an approximate cost.
Deóne also gave advice on selection of contractors to do the work I needed. I also referred Deóne to other friends who have been purchasing property and they have thanked me for the recommendation as they also found his report to be extremely thorough and useful.
