Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection is how people inherit leaks, unsafe wiring, foundation movement, and pest damage that viewings hide, and relying on a bank valuation or a handy friend is a common and costly mistake. We carry out the inspection before you sign the contract or during your offer period, with a full visual check inside and out plus moisture readings and a clear report so you can negotiate or walk away.
We have experienced inspectors who have completed many building inspections and house inspections across Aotea. We use calibrated moisture metres and thermal imaging when it helps, follow a non-invasive method, and grade defects by severity, because skipping the roof space, relying on seller disclosures, or hiring an unqualified checker leads to missed structural issues, safety risks, and large repair costs.
