Whenever you are planning to purchase, searching for advice or ratings is always a great start. Why? It’s because you want to be sure that whatever you are buying is worth the investment and is a certified and trusted product. Likewise, it takes distinct attention, research and investigation whilst investing in property, especially in New Zealand.

To the everyday person, looking at a property to purchase is full of emotion and often clouded by the cosmetic finishes. It takes an expert eye with construction knowledge and experience to see past the colors and bright lights and see the true bones of the property. Often it can be several small clues separated that can determine an underlying issue. Also taking into consideration, the rise in the number of cases related to leaky houses and weather tightness, which more often than not, is related to the construction style and types of building material used.

These are just some of the reasons why one needs a quality inspection of the building through experts in the industry with construction and building knowledge. Inspect House has the expertise, knowledge, and credentials, making them the best choice for those looking for buying a property.

Weather Tightness Reporting

We specifically look at the risk areas of the property in relation to the style and construction of the building and rate these in relation to the NZS building standards for risk. Areas of focus include; roofing, eaves, window design, cladding, design style, decking, and moisture readings.

Safe and Sanitary

Are you concerned about the safety and construction of unconsented work? Prior to 1^stJuly 1992, there was no building consent process as we know and rely on today. Our Safe and Sanitary reporting is an independent report from a trusted third party verifying the condition of a building and work carried out to give you confidence and rule out any concerns.

Special Reporting

Our special reporting is for all building areas that don’t fall into a particular category, such as unusual cracking, fire/flood damage, faulty building works, tenancy/landlord disputes or insurance claims. We provide a clear and concise written report backed up by photos and detailed descriptions of the areas of concern, and recommendations to remedy the situation.
