BUYER BEWARE! THE "VOETSTOOTS" CLAUSE BITES AGAIN
Published in law.news October 2008
Before you buy (Preferably before you sign the offer to purchase) your dream house, contact a SAPRI advisor to take you through the process.
If you don't, you are at risk in two areas:-
One
You have no recourse for "Patent" (visible or obvious without expert inspection) defects - it is up to you to look for them, and to decide whether or not to proceed with the purchase;
Two
Our old friend the "Voetstoots" clause, which is standard in property sale agreements, and binds you to take the property "as is"
It covers the seller against all defects, including "latent" (non-obvious or hidden) defects.
You will have a claim only if you can prove that the seller (or estate agent acting within the seller's mandate) knew of a hidden defect and deliberately concealed it with intent to defraud you; and that won't be easy, as the courts have held that "fraud will not lightly be inferred."
