Home inspections across South Africa

South African homes fail in ways specific to where they stand — salt corrosion on the Atlantic Seaboard, dolomite on the West Rand, expansive clay in Pretoria, year-round humidity on the KZN coast. These guides cover what actually goes wrong in each area, what it costs to put right, and what a transfer there legally requires.
