Why do you need a Pre Purchase Inspection?

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial investments you’ll make, so it’s essential to understand exactly what you’re buying. Our comprehensive pre-purchase building inspections assess the structural integrity, weather tightness, and moisture levels of the property, identifying any hidden issues before they become costly problems. By uncovering defects early, we help Waikato home buyers make confident, informed decisions and avoid unexpected repair expenses in the future.

Moisture Testing

We use professional non-invasive moisture meters to test for hidden leaks and dampness throughout the property. With years of experience repairing water-damaged and leaky homes, we know exactly where to look and what warning signs to watch for, giving you confidence that potential issues won’t be missed.

Areas of Inspection

Our comprehensive building inspections cover all key areas of a property and are carried out using non-invasive testing methods to protect your home. Each pre-purchase building inspection provides a detailed overview of the home’s condition, including:
Site: Retaining walls, fences, site gradient, paths, driveways, decks, and surface drainage are assessed for stability and water run-off issues.
Subfloor: We inspect piles, flooring, ground conditions, plumbing, insulation, and ventilation to identify signs of dampness, decay, or poor airflow.
Exterior: Cladding, soffits, fascias, joinery, windows, and doors are checked for weather tightness, cracks, or potential water ingress.
Interior: Ceilings, walls, floors, doors, and windows are examined for movement, moisture, or general wear and tear. Plumbing fixtures are reviewed for leaks or damage.
Roof: We assess the roof coverings, chimneys, flashings, and guttering for defects, corrosion, and maintenance requirements.
Roof Space (Ceiling Cavity): Roof framing, insulation, and general ventilation are reviewed to ensure the structure is sound and energy-efficient.
All inspections are performed by a Licensed Building Practitioner with over 25 years of industry experience, ensuring you receive a thorough, professional report that highlights any concerns before you buy.
