What Is A Sectional Title Property Inspection ?
Sectional title simply describes the separate ownership of a unit within a complex or development.
The unit owner automatically becomes part of the body corporate governed by the Sectional Title Scheme Management. Both the unit owner and the management scheme are obliged to carry out property inspections, which are required by various legal provisions.

Condition Report
A condition report serves to legally protect the Seller, the Buyer and the Property Professional (Estate Agent) during a property sales transaction under both the Common Law and Consumers Protection Acts.
The seller is obliged to provide a Defects Disclosure Document. Should this disclosure not reveal all defects, the Purchases may recover damages he or she has suffered as result of unreported defects, including the cost of repair by a contractor of their choice.
The buyer is compelled to inspect the property, or have it inspected and ensure that all patent defects are listed in the OTP (Offer to Purchase) to protect against unplanned costly repairs.
Under the Property Practitioners Act, a real estate broker is required to obtain the defect disclosure documents described in Section 67.1 of the Act, which must be provided to any prospective buyer. If this process is neglected, the real estate professional may be held liable under the Consumer Protection Act for claims of defects not disclosed by the seller.
RESSGRO Property Inspection Services performs thorough condition inspections and prepares condition reports that protect all three parties from potential claims for defects that may arise.
10 Year Maintenance Plan
The Sectional Title Schemes Management Act (STSMA) requires that a 10-year maintenance plan be prepared to show the estimated annual maintenance requirements.
RESSGRO Professional Property Inspection Services will develop and maintain the required maintenance and renewal plan for the scheme.
This plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
- Current Condition Report.
- Estimated forecast budget report for operational maintenance, repairs, and replacements.
- Report of estimated capital expenditures for major asset maintenance, repairs, and replacements over the next 10 years.
- Expected useful life of assets.
- Any other reports deemed important by the scheme management.
Maintenance Quality Inspection
This annual inspection is an audit of the 10-year maintenance plan, looking at the following aspects:
- Progress in maintenance and upkeep according to the maintenance plan.
- Monitoring the quality of workmanship and materials used.
- Revision of the 10-year plan to consider any deviations and new items.
- Monitoring and review of the projected budget.
This inspection may also include the triennial inspections required by insurance companies.
Rental Move In-Out Inspection
The Property Practitioners Act stipulates that during any rental transaction the Property Owner are compelled to supply a Defects Disclosure document to the new tenant. Should the tenant become aware of defects not listed on the Defects Disclosure document, he/she should bring it to the attention of the Landlord and ONLY sign the Defects Disclosure document when all newly detected defects are added and recorded on said document.
On expiration of the rental contract, an unbiased Defects Declaration report will be complied and issued by RESSGRO Professional Property Inspection Services, after inspecting the property. This report will aid in determining if there are any valid claims for damages against the lessee.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Infrared technology (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows inspectors to show homeowners invisible defects that cannot be detected by traditional inspection methods. This technology can be used to reveal, among other things, electrical overheating, water and moisture problems, etc. that are not visible to the naked eye.
This technology can also be used to reduce energy consumption in a property where energy is lost through the escape of heated or cooled air due to poor insolation.
