A property inspection is a professional assessment of a home’s condition, identifying defects or risks that may impact its safety, integrity or value.
An inspection helps uncover major defects, supports negotiations, and ensures you're making a well-informed investment with no hidden surprises.
Our inspections include a detailed room-by-room assessment, covering:
- Floors, roof cavity/insulation, sub-floor/foundations
- Roof, chimney, flue, and exterior claddings
- Windows, doors, decks, pergolas, and fencing
- Driveways, retaining walls, garages, and outbuildings
- Pest & rot detection, electrical & plumbing systems
- Heating systems and weather-tightness risk points
Our BOINZ Accredited Building Surveyor will personally go over the report with you to ensure you fully understand your property’s condition. If an Earthquake Damage Property Information Form is needed for insurance, we provide it at no extra cost.
- Review the findings carefully
- Discuss with your solicitor and relevant professionals
- If needed, negotiate repairs or price adjustments before proceeding with the purchase or sale

- Pre-sale inspections help sellers identify and address issues before listing their property.
A pre-sale inspection can:
- Identify issues that may affect sale price
- Allow for repairs before listing
- Provide an accurate market value estimate
- Reduce surprises during the buyer’s inspection
Our comprehensive Pre-Sale Report gives sellers a clear understanding of their property’s condition before listing. This helps avoid unexpected buyer concerns.
For buyers, we provide detailed pre-purchase reports prepared by a BOINZ Accredited Building Surveyor. Our reports highlight potential risks and empower buyers to make confident decisions before finalizing their investment.
