What is the overall duration of a home inspection?
With the inclusion of a comprehensively written report, a home inspection should ideally not take more than 3-4 hours. Then again, various factors such as the size and current condition of the house, climate as well as the availability of access can cause it to vary from time to time.

When do I get an inspection report?
The report is usually delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. It includes a complete summary of the conditions of your home as well as details all all the defects and maintenance issues that need further care.

How long does a home inspection take?
A typical house inspection including a comprehensive written report usually takes about 3-4 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, the availability of access.

What do you look at?
We inspect all the major elements of the house, this includes; the Roof, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, Plumbing, Insulation, and Interior. Our aim is to identify the significant defects and any obvious deferred maintenance issues and level of risk that would affect a typical buyer's decision to purchase.

How much does an inspection cost?
Our typical fee for an inspection is $399 However, some factors will affect the fee. If you are comparing home inspection firms, the fee charged should not be the deciding factor unless the level of service offered is identical. Remember, you are considering a major purchase and your choice of home inspector should be based on getting the best value, not just the best price.

​
Do you offer a warranty on the house?
A house inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It's a little like getting a check-up from your doctor.
It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty.
Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house - they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. For example, some shower cubicles leak when people use the shower but don't leak when you simply turn on and off the shower. Some roofs and sub-floor only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house.

​Do you have insurance?
Yes we have professional indemnity & public liability insurance.
