House Inspections - What do I get?

A BUILDING DETECTIVE

We inspect the building and the site, starting from the perimeter fencing and working inwards, looking for faults and defects that could impact upon your purchase decision and cost money now or in the future. Much cannot be seen, but experience tells us where faults may lie or have been covered up. The inspection is non-destructive and great care is taken to avoid any damage to the property or disturbance to owners' effects.

GET ANSWERS NOW

Straight after the inspection you can attend the property for a spoken summary. If you cannot attend, the inspector will phone you instead.

FULLY PRINTED REPORT

Typewritten and emailed to you within 24 hours, with a printed copy mailed. The report contains 4 main sections :

  • The Summary

    The critical issues needing your attention now, in a concise few lines.

  • Inspector’s Checklist

    See what your inspection has covered, here on the inspector's own checklists.

  • Each fault explained

    For each fault, there is a note of explanation and how to deal with it.

  • Appendix of knowledge

    Over 50 pages of illustrated text explaining the common faults we find in Adelaide houses plus advice for owners on saving money and improving enjoyment.

Some things we can't do ...

Testing equipment such as stoves & airconditioners

We visually check and comment on equipment such as stoves, dishwashers, hot water services and airconditioners, but they cannot be properly tested during a building inspection so you should verify that they all work to your satisfaction prior to settlement.

Termites & pests

Ask to have a termite inspection at the same time as your building inspection for this specially discounted fee. Termite damage or pest infestation observed during a building inspection will be noted in the report, but a building inspection alone is not a termite or pest inspection.
