What is the Voetstoots clause?

This is a standard South African clause meaning the property is sold 'as is.' It means you accept the property with all visible and invisible defects. However, it does not protect the Seller if they were aware of a known latent defect (a hidden problem) and deliberately concealed it. This is why a thorough inspection is always recommended.
