Property Makes People Money and Allows Their Dreams To Come True – Make Sure It Does This For You By Making Informed Choices!

Both Home Buyers and Sellers can benefit from the security of a House Inspection to ensure that they are basing their decisions on factual information from the experts!

Anyone who is buying a house and wants to be sure they are aware of all the possible problems – BEFORE making a commitment should at least get a Pre-Purchase Inspection Report.

The 10 most important details you need to know before committing to buying a property are:

  • Foundations are SOLID and RELIABLE

  • The Structure is STRONG and DURABLE

  • The Roofing isn’t leaking

  • The External Cladding is in good condition

  • The Internal Linings are DRY

  • The Electrics are working properly

  • The Plumbing is in working order

  • The Drainage is SUFFICIENT

  • The Home is SECURE

  • There are NO signs of PEST problems


  • If you are SELLING there may be affordable things you can do, that make a massive difference to your SALE PRICE! Here’s how you can get the best price for your property – don’t settle for any less.

    Are you worried as a home seller what the process of selling your home may unveil or that the buyer is going to ask you awkward questions later on down the line?

    A house inspection report does not just benefit the buyer, vendors can increase their ability to sell their home by using this service too…

    Consider this…you are trying to sell your home and a problem is discovered just prior to the unconditional stage. Not only do you then lose your sale, you may also lose the home you were intending to buy, money, etc. With an inspection report, you can present this to a buyer and it shows that you have no issues to hide, that you are being ‘upfront’ with the buyer and that you are genuine. It also enables you to address any issues your home may have early on in the sale process. You are offered solutions to problems and can help you pin-point them with the buyer . It could help you achieve the asking price as a buyer would have less bargaining power to ‘haggle’.

    Think of it from a buyer's point of view, if the inspection report is pre-purchase then it provides them with a sense of security, answering all of the small niggly questions that can slow a sale down. If you can show them that their investment is safe then they are more likely to buy from you.

    Reports can be produced within 24 hours of the inspection taking place, allowing you prompt and efficient advice that you never know, may even increase the value of your home!


    Learn key things to look out for when buying your first home that is "pre loved" and will require some DIY.

    Most of us can’t afford our dream home first time round, hence we are more likely to buy pre-loved houses and can’t wait to renovate. Most of us aren’t looking at the details we are more focused on dreaming about “the potential”. The danger in this is that “pre-loved” houses often have hidden problems that can cost you money down the track! As a first home buyer money is tighter so there is NO room for surprise repairs and maintenance bills. The Pre-Purchase Inspection Report will uncover any unwanted secrets so you know your investment’s safe.

    A report will give you an indication on the renovations you will need to carry out.

    Unfortunately the scariest thing when looking at a house is the “unknown”. People who have experience in the building and construction trade see things amateurs just don’t. Thankfully when you get an Inspection Report from NZHIC you are getting the skills of someone who has years of industry experience. They will be your eyes and report back to you in “everyday language” that you can understand.

  • The NZ House Inspection has been running since 1997 so call us for qualified independent inspections.
