Recommended Beetle Clause in the Deeds of Sale & Offer to Purchase

The Parties agree that: Prior to registration of transfer, the seller shall, at his expense, have all the accessible timbers of the property inspected by a SAPCA registered Inspector for the infestation by Wood-destroying beetles, termites and (in the Western Cape) fungi, and a report with recommendations shall be given to the Purchaser. Where infestation is found, the recommendations made shall be carried out in full, in terms of Act 36 of 1947 and/or SABS Codes 0124 and 0204. Upon receipt of a Certificate of Clearance issued by the said Inspector that there is no infestation apparent on first inspection, or that any infestation reported has been dealt with as aforesaid, Purchaser shall have no further claim against the Seller.

Die Partye onderneem: Die Verkoper sal voor registrasie van oordrag al die toeganklike houtwerk van die eiendom deur 'n SAPCA geregistreerde Inspekteur laat ondersoek vir besmetting deur houtvernietigende termiete en kewers (in die Wes-Kaap) fungi. 'n Afskrif van die geskrewe rapport met aanbevelings sal aan die Koper oorhandig word. Indien besmetting gevind word sal die volle aanbevelings uitgevoer word in ooreensteming met die voorskrifte van Wet 36 van 1947 asook die SABS gebruiks-kode 0124 en 0204. Sodra die verkoper 'n sertifikaat van die genoemde inspekteur voorlê dat geen besmetting waarneembaar is met die eerste ondersoek nie, of dat enige gemelde besmetting volgens voorskrifte behandel is, sal die Koper geen verdere eis teen die Verkoper hê nie.
