Pre-Purchase Inspection Ngongotahā – FAQs
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Most Ngongotahā property inspections take around 1–2 hours, depending on the home’s size and condition. Larger or multi-level homes may take longer, especially if roof or subfloor access is limited.
When will I receive my inspection report?
We aim to deliver your written report within 24–48 hours of the inspection. You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand document detailing our findings, photos, and recommendations.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes — we encourage buyers to attend if possible. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions on-site and get real-time insights from the inspector before you finalise your purchase.
What happens if major issues are found?
If significant problems are identified, we’ll clearly outline them in the report. Many clients use this information to renegotiate price, request repairs, or reconsider the purchase entirely.
Do you inspect both new builds and older Ngongotahā homes?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a modern home near the lake or an older property in the village, our reports are tailored to highlight any age-related issues or maintenance concerns specific to local conditions.
Are properties near Lake Rotorua prone to moisture or movement?
Homes close to the lake or geothermal zones can experience higher moisture levels and occasional minor ground movement. Our inspectors pay special attention to subfloors, drainage, and ventilation in these areas to ensure the home remains dry and stable.
Are your inspectors independent and accredited?
Yes. We’re independent and accredited by the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). You can trust our reports to be unbiased and focused solely on protecting your interests.
