Professional House Inspections will provide you with:
- An independent, thorough appraisal of all reasonably accessible parts of the building, by an experienced and qualified building professional.
- A detailed, fully typed report which is easy to read and understand.
- A report which complies fully with the Australian Standard be AS4349.1-2007

Why risk your money with sub-standard reports by “part timers” without the experience, the time or the equipment to do the job properly. (Why else would they be cheap?)
Don’t you deserve a worry free professional home inspection?
Being professional doesn’t mean we’re afraid to get our hands dirty! We check wherever we have reasonable access.
- We take care of all the details such as arrangements for access to the property.
- You do not need to take time away from work or other commitments, unless of course you wish to take the opportunity to have another look at the property, or discuss the inspection with us on site.
- We can often arrange an inspection within 24 hours, to fit in with your requirements.
- Afterwards we are available to discuss or explain our findings to your satisfaction.
- We can also advise on the most appropriate repair methods, prioritise repair work and estimate the costs of repairs, alterations or extensions.
Range of building inspection services
Professional House Inspections offers a range of building inspection services which progressively reduce the level of risk faced by intending purchasers.
Level 1
Structural & Salt Damp Inspection
Level 2
Standard Inspection
This is a much more detailed inspection, and it complies fully with the Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007.
In addition to the Level 1 inspection, we check all reasonably accessible parts of the property, and provide you with a comprehensive, yet easy to read, typed report. This can usually be supplied by the following day.
The Level 2 inspection includes the checking of:
- structural elements, and testing for salt damp as per Level 1
- plumbing and electrical systems
- exterior and interior surfaces, including doors, windows, etc.
- storm water drainage and site management issues
- fencing, paving, structural retaining walls, secondary buildings, etc.
However, this inspection does not include the checking of any part of the property for timber pests, e.g. termites (white ants), borers, etc.
Level 3
Standard Inspection
+ Termite Insp.
This is a Level 2 inspection compliant with Australian Standards AS4349.1-2007 and AS4349.3-2010, plus:
- an assessment of termite risk factors present on the property
- a visual inspection of all reasonably and readily accessible timber surfaces for signs of termite damage
* Note that we are not licensed pest controllers. If the scope and extent of the termite inspection offered does not meet your requirements, we advise you to arrange for a separate inspection by a licensed pest control company. The approval of the vendor is usually required in such cases, and there is a risk of damage to the property.
