A Pre-Purchase building and pest Inspection can stop you getting caught out when buying your biggest ever purchase in Adelaide!
Peace of Mind Home Inspections is a local building Inspection Company based in Somerton Park near Glenelg in the South Western suburbs of Adelaide.
We are experts at conducting thorough pre purchase property inspections and pest inspections of residential properties for prospective home buyers. We provide an open, honest and unbiased opinion of the house and its surrounds including the integrity of the building and many other aspects of the property. We also give objective advice on how to overcome any problems encountered.
