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 are local to Otumoetai and we carry out thorough house inspections that go into the roof space and under the floor, not just a checklist. Many buyers rely on seller reports or book after they go unconditional and that can hide termites or moisture problems, so we talk you through findings, likely repair costs, and next steps the same day.

Hidden structural movement, moisture intrusion, unsafe wiring, termites, and roof issues rarely show during a showing, and skipping or delaying an inspection can cause costly repairs, safety risks, weak bargaining, or lender concerns, with common mistakes like booking after contingencies expire or skipping pest or sewer scope making it worse. We schedule your pre-purchase house inspection before you sign or during due diligence and send a licenced inspector to check roof exterior and roof space, subfloor where accessible, interior and exterior walls, plumbing fixtures, visible electrical, ventilation, and drainage with moisture readings, thermal checks where helpful, clear photos, and a same day plain English report.

We explain safety hazards, structural movement, moisture ingress, and major maintenance issues in plain language, and we help you avoid common mistakes like booking late, skipping a pest check, or settling without a report which kills your leverage and leads to costly surprises.

Buyers often book too late, skim seller summaries, or skip hard-to-reach areas, and that is how termites, damp, movement in foundations, unsafe wiring, roof leaks, and poor drainage stay hidden and turn into big bills, safety risks, insurance knockbacks, and finance delays. We carry out a thorough pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, covering structure, moisture, plumbing, electrical, roofing, insulation, site grading, and compliance checks with clear photos and repair cost ranges so you can negotiate well or walk away.
Here is what our process looks like from booking to decision.
Most buyers skip roof spaces, subfloors, and moisture testing and trust a quick look or a lender valuation, which can lead to safety risks, insurance problems, and large repair bills. We check structure, roofing, foundations, exterior drainage, plumbing, electrical items, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and insulation with ladders, crawl access, moisture metres, and thermal imaging and we send a plain language photo report the same day.
