All too often, purchasers overlook the fact that buying a home can be risky and stressful if it’s not done properly.
Whether you’re purchasing your dream home, building a new home, renovating or purchasing an investment property, our capabilities ensure that you get the best results.
A thorough inspection avoids costly surprises and is an invaluable component of a well planned purchase!
Using Adelaide Home Inspection to conduct your pre-purchase inspection takes the stress and uncertainty from this process; it is an indispensable component of a well-planned purchase.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for Adelaide homes as it covers the best of both worlds; building defects and timber pest activity.
Missed tie-downs, leaking flashings, incorrect wet area waterproofing- these types of oversights can cause real problems- often leaving the homeowner facing expensive rectification works.
Adelaide Home Inspection can visit the site to learn about the problems then initiate an impartial resolution.
We can assess the building work against the approved plans and specifications, the National Construction Code and relevant local and Australian Standards.
A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home that provides one of the most valuable indicators when deciding to purchase a property.
Our inspections provide an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the home, providing you with an expert third party opinion and professional report on the condition of the property.
Our inspection reports provide advice regarding the incidence of major defects and an opinion regarding the incidence of minor defects, relative to the condition of similar homes that have been reasonably well maintained.
Our inspections comply with the requirements of the current Australian Standards and we inspect the following areas, where safe and reasonable access is available;
(a) The interior of the home.
(b) The roof space.
(c) The exterior of the home.
(d) The sub-floor space.
(e) The roof exterior.
(f) The property within 30 m of the home subject to inspection.

We use only registered and licenced building supervisors to undertake our inspections- we understand the building process, the pitfalls and the root cause of building defects.
We have extensive construction experience spanning residential, commercial, civil, structural and property development- we provide professional, independent and unbiased information on the condition of the home to assist you in buying with confidence.

Buying a home isn’t only a significant investment; it’s a life-changing move, whether good or bad is determined by how much attention to detail there is during this process.
Home buyers looking to purchase their new home as well as those with a property undergoing construction or renovation are types of people who would benefit from having a professional inspection done.
At Adelaide Home Inspection, we exceed the requirements of Australian Standard 4349.1 (2007), Inspection of Buildings and Australian Standard 4349.3 (2010), Timber Pest Inspections.
Our inspection reports provide valuable advice regarding the incidence of major defects and an opinion regarding the incidence of minor defects of your new home.
Anyone building a new home or extending an existing home will benefit from our Staged Construction Inspections. These inspections (and our extensive reporting) identify non-conformance within your build- oversights that can cause expensive rectification works down the track.
We encourage our clients to attend the later part of our inspection where we can discuss and advise first hand any problems that we may have encountered. This is in addition to our written summary and report that will be emailed to you shortly after the site inspection concludes.

When purchasing a new home for my family, I wanted to make sure that I knew all about the potential properties prior to committing the considerable financial and personal investment required. I have trusted John from Adelaide Home Inspection to provide a professional and technical insight into the condition of a number of properties as my wife and I bought our dream family home. John’s thorough and diligent approach allowed us to make informed decisions on potential properties. He takes the time to ensure you understand the condition report and can proceed to buy with confidence. I would seek to use John’s services next time I am looking at purchasing a new property.

John responded promptly to our inquiry to complete a home inspection without much notice. He was thorough and exhaustive when completing the inspection and, with the use of his impressive equipment, found problems that had not even occurred to us. His report was detailed and has helped us learn about the importance of having an inspection done prior to auction or putting in an offer. Without John's help, we would have purchased a home that would have needed repairs that simply would have put us out of pocket and caused us many financial problems into the future.

As first home buyers, my partner and I had Adelaide Home Inspection inspect our home prior to the Auction. Initially, my partner insisted him and his mates could do it, and there was no need to spend unnecessary money. Well, I got my way (hehehe) and decided that having a certified inspector was the way to go. John carried out a thorough inspection and provided a report that provided us with peace of mind to purchase at Auction.

Prior to purchasing our beachside dream home, we spoke with three different home inspection companies to better understand their range of services and cost structures. My wife and I decided to use John from Adelaide Home Inspection for a combined building/pest inspection due to the detail he provided at a competitive price. We are so glad we engaged his services after learning a lot about the property we otherwise would not have known such as: • detection of water damage in one of the bathroom walls • timber bracing issues in various spots in the roof space •plaster on numerous walls that have been temporarily patched due to salt damp •tell-tale signs of termite activity. Although we decided not to purchase the property based on these findings we are relieved we did not spend our hard earned money on a property that may have cost us more in the future.
