Are you planning to purchase a new house? Regardless of the age of the property we would always recommend that you get some guidance or obtain a building inspection before finalising a significant investment. The last thing you want is to stumble across some nasty surprises after spending much of your hard earned money. Our recommendation comes in the form of a building inspection which we feel would be mandatory regardless of the age of the property. You should always get in touch with a qualified and trusted building inspector in New Zealand that is trained in accordance with the NZS4306:2005 inspection standard.

A building inspection will help you find problems with the property that you are purchasing. It is done by a qualified and experienced building inspector. You can get a detailed assessment of the property you are looking forward to buying. Did you know that under the NZS4306:2005 inspection standard that building inspectors are only obligated to report on major problems in a property and that a building report is not designed as an exhaustive list to identify every single 'nook and cranny' problem with a property? - i bet you didnt know that right?! An Inspect House NZ building report identifies problems big and small, room by room, to give you an overview of what you are buying along with a 2/3 page executive summary professionally written
