We match Adelaide buyers with independent inspectors. Nothing else.

House Inspection Adelaide is a free matching service that connects property buyers in Adelaide and surrounding South Australia with a local independent building inspector. We don't inspect properties and we don't refer to agents. When we pass your enquiry to an inspector, that business may pay us a referral fee.

SIX CHECKS

What to check in any Adelaide inspector.

Use these six checks before you book.

Independent from agents

We don't accept agent referrals or pay kickbacks, and you can ask any inspector about their links with the seller or agent. The inspector we pass your enquiry to may pay us a referral fee. Read the full breakdown at our transparency page.

Licensed

Ask for their SA Building Work Contractors Licence number and check it on the CBS public register before you book.

Insured

Ask for current public liability and professional indemnity insurance certificates.

AS 4349.1-2007 compliant

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

What we do and don't do.

  • We don't inspect.Inspectors do. We're a matching layer between Adelaide property buyers and the independent inspectors who actually do the work.
  • The site is free for you.We charge nothing to pass your enquiry to an inspector. The inspector may pay us a small referral fee. Full breakdown on the transparency page.
  • We don't accept agent referrals.Ask any inspector whether they have a commercial relationship with the seller or agent. This is the most common source of conflict of interest in the industry.
  • We don't share your details.Only the inspector we pass your enquiry to receives your contact details, and only so they can quote. We don't resell data, we don't market third-party services, we don't add you to any other list.
BEFORE YOU BOOK

What to look for in an Adelaide inspector.

Look for an inspector who holds:

  • · An active SA Building Work Contractors Licence (check it on the CBS public register).
  • · Current public liability insurance.
  • · Current professional indemnity insurance.
  • · Either a trade background (carpentry, building, structural engineering) or formal building inspection qualifications.
  • · Zero current commercial relationship with real estate agencies, sellers, or building companies.

Tell us your suburb, property type and timing, and we'll look for a local inspector who suits the job, such as one with heritage stone experience.
