Unfair practice, take your money then force you to use their overpriced quote do have them do the repairs
This company takes your money to do inspection - meaning they are aware they are coming to inspect work which was NOT DONE BY THEM. After the inspection they will find something - anything to provide you a quote for repairs. The pricing in the quote is overpriced, but you are now forced to have them do the repairs because they quickly claim that they do not issue COC certificate on work THEY DID NOT DO... but funny that they would have issued you one if there was no faults on your home for WORK THEY DID NOT DO. They do not allow you to have repairs done yourself, or to even supply the materials required for the work, because they want to overcharge you and make money on that. And even if you are willing to pay for another inspection fee for them to come out and inspect a second time, they say they wont and they will not issues COC at that stage even if the home will pass.

Do not use them! They take your money and force you to pay overpriced quotes to get COC certificates!
Do not use this company, they will squeeze ur for money & try to put u into a corner forced to pay their overpriced quotes!!! They claim they offer COC certificates but really they take ur money, then force u to ONLY use THEM for repairs! I did the mistake of not reading reviews! All my communication was done over whats app, including cost, date, description of property, etc. I wanted a booking for a Wednesday & they only had 4pm slot open, & when I said that my domestic leaves by 4:30pm they said no problem, 30 min is more then enough to do all 3 inspections... which already sounded to me a bit rushed, but ok. So my husband said he rather be there when they do inspection & speak to the person who comes out before they do the inspection to make sure we are all on the same page. The day of the inspection the person showed up 12:30 by surprise and someone on whats app asked can he go now, I rushed my husband home from work & asked them to wait until 1pm. My husband specifically asked how the process works & should there be faults would he be able to repair the faults pointed out, & the inspector said yes for a call out fee, that they would then return & double check that all is done correctly. Based on that the inspection started. Not even 30 min the inspection was done. We were then told to pay same day for the inspection fee otherwise price goes up if you dont pay on the day of inspection. So we paid the fee x3 for beetle, gas, & plumbing. Finally we receive our report: Plumbing, Correctly route Drip tray overflow to outside - drip tray overflow has irrigation pipe, not allowed. Correctly saddle and secure water pipes. Total invoice R3800. Now this is not some complicated repair. When my husband confirmed that he will do these items himself & we would then book them for the "call-out fee" or even another inspection fee to double check that all is correctly done - they flat out said, no they will not come back to inspect & issue COC. They only issue COC on work they personally do. So then I asked but hold on, if these items that u pointed out, were actually not done incorrectly, meaning the property had no faults, u would have issued COC for work that u did not do, & the owner said yes, so I asked, what is the difference now? The owner just kept telling me its against the law. Same with gas inspection. Replace flexible hose at cylinder - hose older than 5 yrs ( which could be so ) Replace Low pressure bullnose regulator - Older than 10 yrs ( funny enough we just purchased a new one less then a month ago & that is the one which was on the bottle when the inspector inspected ) Replace composite below hob with copper. Total Invoice R1600 out of which R890 is for the new orange hose and new regulator???? Which regulator is 1m old... I asked the owner why are their fees so high & why are the overcharging for the products - no answer. Why cant we provide the new regulator & pipe. Because we are not qualified gas installers. Why cant we have a second inspection booked even if we pay the inspection fee for them to check that all their remarks were addressed - because we are not professional installers. She kept referring to disclosure which was sent by email, the day prior to inspection - which I did not had a chance to see, nor was I expecting or was told to read it over, as all my booking and communication was over ther whats app line. And she kept protecting herself with the disclosure that they dont issue COC for work which is not completed by them. So then how do they ever issue COC to homes which lets say dont have a fault, since clearly none of the work on those homes was done by them? They dont, they make sure to find something even as small and as ridiculous as they can, then they provide you an overpriced quote, and you are forced to pay them because you already paid the inspection fee and need that COC. Well, I wont. Even if it costs me more money to pay inspection fee to another company, I will rather give them well deserved income. I dont support companies who legally **** people.

Fake company! Do not trust. Uses pictures of furniture stolen from other businesses and posting as their own. Rather contact the real company.
Brighton owner of UMODZI built a facebook page & website using pictures of couches manufactured mostly by Stars Furnishings Factory and is using their designs and pictures to make it seem as UMODZI craftsmanship. It is false advertising and surely not legal to take pictures from another company's website and post on yours as your own work and even use the same names for the sofas as the other company, while having someone try to duplicate those designs should someone actually order from him from a small operation from a home. Fake page is http://www.umodzi.co.za/ and facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Umodzi-591239481561908/?ref=page_internal Pictures stolen from https://homefurniturecapetown.co.za/furniture/couches/
