Why Inspect-a-Home™?

Several smaller inspection companies have popped up in SA recently which is a testament to the need for this type of service.

So why choose Inspect-A-Home?

Inspect-A-Home has been inspecting homes since 1985 and uses this 22+ years experience to help clients make informed decisions when buying, as well as guiding and supporting them when building.

Our reports are completely factual and unbiased and will stand up in a court of law if need be. We remain impartial, giving the client the facts and not just what they want to hear.

We are not affiliated with any estate agents or building contractors and are, therefore, completely unbiased in our report and recommendations to you.

We don’t use checklists. Our report is a narrative, often with supporting photographs, that explains the problems/defects, how they can be rectified, and what costs would be involved. This is a totally unique service to Inspect-A-Home.

The theoretical and practical training our inspectors receive is unparalleled in this country. We also have a national support infrastructure of engineers, architects, entomologists, geologists, quantity surveyors and other professionals that we can draw on if the need arises.

Beyond the technical expertise and experience a professional Inspect-A-Home inspector brings, it is important to remember that the inspector remains an impartial third party. Our inspectors provide a thoroughly objective, unbiased reporting of the facts.

We are members of various Home Inspection groups such as the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (American) NACHI and the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) as we agree with what they are trying to achieve. But membership to these organisations alone does not prove reputation or credibility. We warn against companies that claim that it does.

There is currently no recognised Home Inspection Association in South Africa. (Although some inspection companies appear to have created their own and are the sole members!) Inspect-A-Home is currently pioneering the regulation of the Home Inspection industry to protect the consumer.
