When You Need a Soil Poisoning Certificate

Our soil poisoning certificates page for Durban has more detail.

New builds

Needed for NHBRC.

Bond registration

Some banks ask for one before approving a bond on a new home.

Transfers

Attorneys may request it when a recently built home is sold.

Why Certificates Matter in Hillcrest

With so much building in the area, certificates are often needed quickly.

New development Hillcrest saw a building boom of shopping centres and gated estates in the late 1990s and 2000s, and building carries on around it.
Busy property market Missing paperwork can delay transfer.
Registered operator Certificates must come from a registered pest control operator.
Termite risk Termites are common in KwaZulu-Natal, so treatment is worth doing properly.

We issue certificates for sites across Hillcrest, Winston Park, Everton, Waterfall and Botha’s Hill, and in Assagay and Shongweni.

How to Get Your Certificate

Tell us about the property

Send the address and the stage of the build.

Treat

We treat the soil at the right stage, or confirm treatment we carried out.

Issue

We send the certificate to you, your builder or your attorney.

Get in touch early in the build so the certificate is ready when you need it.

Keeping Your Soil Poisoning Paperwork in Order

A certificate is only useful if it’s available when the bank, builder or attorney asks for it.

Get it at the time of treatment Certificates are easiest to issue when treatment is done, so book before the slab is cast.
Check the details Make sure the address, erf number and date on the certificate are correct before you file it.
Keep copies Store a digital copy with your other building documents, and give one to your builder.
Pass it on when selling Buyers and attorneys may ask for it when a recently built home is sold.
Ask early if you’re unsure If you don’t know whether a property was treated, ask us before transfer rather than during it.

If we did the treatment and you’ve lost the certificate, ask us and we’ll check what we can provide.
