❓ How long does a building inspection take? The duration of a house inspection can vary based on several factors, including the size, age, and overall condition of the property. For an average-sized home in New Zealand, a standard house inspection typically takes around 1.5 hours. Larger or more complex properties—such as multi-storey houses or those with additional structures like garages or sleepouts—may require more time. In contrast, smaller homes, units, or apartments usually take less time to inspect. Regardless of property size, our goal is to ensure a thorough and professional assessment.
❓ Do you check for leaks? Yes, we conduct non-invasive moisture testing as part of our interior inspection, especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. If signs of leaks or high moisture are found, we include photos and recommendations in the report.
❓ What does a pre-purchase building inspection include? It includes a non-invasive visual inspection of the interior, exterior, roof space, and subfloor (if accessible), plus moisture testing and photographic documentation.
❓ What if serious issues are found? You can renegotiate the price, ask the vendor to fix the problem, or walk away. Our reports give you negotiating power.
❓ How much does a pre-purchase inspection cost? Our fees vary depending on the property size and urgency. We offer same-day reports upon request (subject to availability). Click here to view pricing.
