You need to know what you are really buying before you go unconditional, but hidden defects like leaks, foundation movement, unsafe wiring, and poor drainage are easy to miss in a short viewing. We carry out a thorough pre-purchase house inspection with visual, non-invasive building inspections and same day reporting, so you can decide, renegotiate, or walk away.
We are licensed and insured, use moisture metres and thermal imaging, deliver same day photo rich reports, and we invite you to attend and ask questions so you do not rely on a seller report or miss hidden areas like the roof void. Our method is thorough, our guidance is plain, and our findings stand up in negotiations and with lenders.

Buying a home without a pre-purchase house inspection can leave you with hidden structural movement, leaks, unsafe wiring, timber pest damage, or drainage faults that cost thousands after settlement. We carry out detailed building inspections before you sign or during the cooling off period, checking roof space, subfloor, services, and site with moisture metres and thermal imaging where suitable, then we deliver a clear report you can act on.
We are local to Kenepuru with qualified, insured inspectors who run thorough house inspections from the roof to the site and follow recognised inspection standards. Many buyers rush the process, skip access areas, or book after the cooling off period, which leads to missed major defects and costly surprises, and we do not let that happen.

Hidden moisture, termite activity, unsafe wiring, and drainage issues can cost tens of thousands after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection in Kenepuru finds major defects before you sign or during your cooling off period with a roof space and subfloor check, plumbing and electrical checks, heating ventilation and air conditioning review, moisture readings, and drainage assessment, and that avoids common mistakes like relying on a seller report, skipping key areas, or booking too late which can leave you with no leverage to negotiate, surprise repair bills, or insurance trouble.
Here is how our house inspections run.
Our inspectors run a tight process that is careful and fast, using moisture metres and thermal imaging when needed, and checking the roof, attic, crawl space, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and drainage. The result is a correct, plain language report with photos and practical next steps that your agent can use right away.

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, and unconsented building work can turn a bargain into a costly rebuild, and skipping an independent report or trusting the seller’s paperwork are common mistakes that can set back finance or insurance. We carry out a pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, covering roof to subfloor, foundation, cladding, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and drainage, with moisture readings, thermal imaging, and a same day verbal summary followed by a clear written report.
What you get from our pre-purchase house inspection.
We are licensed and insured, and our inspectors spend two to three hours on site checking the roof, foundation, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, interiors, exteriors, and site drainage with moisture metres and thermal imaging when helpful. We work within your contract dates, we welcome you on site, and we cover all of Kenepuru with house inspections and building inspections that give you clarity, because the most common buyer mistakes are booking late, not attending, or relying on a friend, which leads to missed defects, no bargaining power, blown budgets, and sometimes a lost deposit.

Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection, pick the cheapest option, rely on a one page checklist, or skip roof space and subfloor access. The fix is to make your offer subject to a full pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, to do a quick viewing check by turning on every tap for one minute and opening each window, and to know that our house inspections and building inspections cover roof space, subfloor, interior and exterior, plumbing and electrical faults, moisture readings, drainage, and site fall.
Timing matters. Done right, a pre-purchase house inspection is a visual check of the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundations and subfloor, interior rooms, plumbing and electrical fixtures, plus moisture testing and clear photos, with a written report usually delivered within one day; follow these steps and you will spot leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, or unapproved work early, so you can negotiate repairs, budget right, or walk away before you overpay, and you avoid common mistakes that lead to surprise costs, finance delays, or trouble with insurance.

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition before you complete the purchase, a form of building inspection often grouped under house inspections. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other areas to find hidden issues, and it’s different from a pre-sale house inspection arranged by a seller. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Porirua House Inspections in Kenepuru at 0800 754 161.
A pre-purchase inspection–often called a house inspection or building inspection–shows the true condition of the property and helps you avoid expensive surprises after closing. It also gives you negotiating power for price talks or repair requests, which is especially useful as part of a pre-sale house inspection. Call Porirua House Inspections in Kenepuru at 0800 754 161 to book your inspection today.
Book the inspection right after your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes legally binding. That way you’ve time to review the findings and make a clear decision.

Buying or selling without a proper check can backfire fast in Porirua, from safety risks to failed closings to repair bills you didn’t see coming. Porirua House Inspections handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with careful on site checks and clear reports, and we help you time it right by booking pre-purchase during your due diligence window and pre-sale four to six weeks before you list.
Our inspectors are licensed locals who know Porirua homes, soil, weather, and local building rules. We check roof to foundation with moisture testing and thermal imaging where needed, then send a same day photo report with plain next steps.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain language notes, and clear repair priorities, plus a phone walk through to answer questions. We help you dodge common mistakes like booking after the cooling off period, trusting seller disclosure without verification, or hiring someone who is uninsured and rushed.
Services cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks from foundation to final, and one year warranty reviews. Book before you go firm, before listing, and at month eleven on new builds, because skipping or rushing the inspection, hiring the cheapest, or not reading the report can lead to failed closings, denied insurance, fines for unpermitted work, or unsafe conditions.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
