Hidden defects like rotten framing, damp subfloors, or overloaded circuits can drain your budget and set back your plans, and a common mistake is booking the inspection after you go unconditional or skipping moisture testing. We carry out a thorough pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, checking structure, roof space, subfloor, plumbing, and accessible electrical, with moisture readings and a same day report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
We are local to Otara and we carry out thorough house inspections that go into the roof space and under the floor, not just a checklist. Many buyers rely on seller reports or book after they go unconditional and that can hide termites or moisture problems, so we talk you through findings, likely repair costs, and next steps the same day.

Buying a home without a pre-purchase house inspection can leave you with hidden structural movement, leaks, unsafe wiring, timber pest damage, or drainage faults that cost thousands after settlement.

We inspect the roof space, subfloor, exterior, interior, and site drainage in a non invasive way, usually within a few hours, and we rate defects by severity with photographs and practical fixes. Many buyers book too late or only read the summary, so our Otara team schedules fast, talks you through the findings on a call, and brings deep local experience from hundreds of building inspections.

Buyers often miss costly defects under time pressure, book too late, or skim the findings, and that leads to blown budgets, safety risks, and lost negotiating power. We offer a pre-purchase house inspection that covers a full building inspection from roof to subfloor, with clear photos, repair guidance, and a prompt report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
Here is what you get from our house inspections.
We book promptly and carry out a full check of roof, exterior, interior, structure, subfloor, roof space, site drainage, plumbing fixtures under normal use, basic electrical points, moisture readings, and thermal scanning, then we call to walk you through the report. Many buyers skip the roof or subfloor, rely on a friend, or pick the cheapest report, and that mistake can lead to missed movement, leaks that spread, pest damage, and non compliant work that hurts insurance, finance, and resale.

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss big-ticket faults, so book it as soon as the offer is signed or before you bid, and do a quick check now by running all taps for two minutes and looking under each sink for drips or stains.

These steps help you catch hidden building faults early, avoid surprise jobs like re-stumping, roof replacement, or drainage fixes, and keep your budget steady. Less stress follows.

Surprise repairs, permit snags, or safety hazards can drain your budget and stall closings in South Auckland. South Auckland House Inspections handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection so you can spot issues early, plan repairs, and keep your deal moving.
We work in South Auckland every day and we know local code checkpoints, common foundation and drainage issues, and how older wiring and plumbing here usually fail. We walk roofs when it’s safe, go into crawl spaces, test outlets and fixtures, run heating ventilation and air conditioning, scan for moisture and heat loss, and deliver a same day report with clear photos.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain words, and a punch list you can hand to a contractor. We welcome you on site, we guide timing such as before you waive an inspection contingency or before drywall goes up, and we warn about mistakes we see often such as skipping a sewer scope, ignoring attic ventilation, or relying only on the seller disclosure.
We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks for foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final, commercial property assessments, and eleven month warranty inspections for new homes. These find safety hazards, moisture and drainage problems, electrical defects, unpermitted work, and structural movement, and we do it by walking the roof when safe, entering the attic or crawl space, testing major systems, running moisture and thermal checks, and reviewing permits, because skipping a sewer scope or attic access, not checking permits, or skipping a reinspection after repairs can trigger failed closings, stop work orders, fines, insurance trouble, and repairs that cost far more later.
