The subfloor can tell us a lot about the condition of a property.

Where safely accessible, we inspect visible foundations, floor structures, ventilation and moisture conditions, while also looking for plumbing leaks, timber deterioration and other areas that may need further attention.

It might be out of sight, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. Contact us to arrange a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection.

Who is actually inspecting your property?

A recent NZ Herald article raised an important point for anyone arranging a pre-purchase building inspection: ask the right questions before choosing your inspector.

How much inspection experience do they have?
What qualifications do they hold?

Are they registered or accredited with a recognised industry organisation?

Don’t just book an inspection. Know who you’re trusting to do it.

A pre-purchase building inspection provides an independent assessment of the property’s condition and can highlight defects, maintenance requirements or areas needing further investigation.

Part of our inspection process is to check every single corner of your house to ensure that we get the best overall picture of your home's health.

Small issues can turn nasty over time, just like this one. This small amount of rot could become something that could easily spread, and become quite expensive to fix.

One of the common issues we continue to identify is water leakage at the side junctions of acrylic-lined showers. While the shower may appear sound on the surface, failed sealant at vertical corners can allow moisture to enter the wall cavity. Over time, this can lead to hidden damage and deterioration of the framing behind the wall.

Book an inspection to identify hidden moisture issues before they become costly repairs.
