Building Inspection?

Significant defects,

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Most standard residential inspections take between 1–2 hours, depending on the property’s size, age, and condition. Larger or more complex properties may take longer.
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 new builds as well as older homes?
Absolutely. Even brand-new or recently renovated homes can have defects or incomplete work. A professional inspection helps ensure your investment meets NZ building standards from day one.
Are your inspectors independent?
Yes. We’re independent and accredited by BOINZ (Building Officials Institute of NZ) — meaning our only obligation is to you, the buyer. You can trust that our reports are unbiased and focused solely on protecting your interests.
