Hidden defects like structural movement, leaking showers, termite activity, and unsafe wiring can turn a purchase into months of surprise repairs. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds these risks before you go unconditional and shows likely repair costs so you can make a smart decision.
Many buyers skip the roof space and subfloor, rely on a friend, or accept a verbal check, and they inherit unsafe wiring, rot, or leaking showers. We are South Auckland House Inspections and we do thorough house inspections and building inspections with safe access, moisture metres, thermal imaging, and clear written reports that flag urgent risks and likely repair costs.

Many buyers go unconditional or book late, then find leaks, movement, or unsafe wiring after they move in. Make your offer subject to a pre-purchase house inspection and book within three days so we can check the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, windows, subfloor, plumbing, electrical, drainage, site grading, and moisture levels, and as a quick check today run the shower and kitchen tap together for two minutes and watch for slow drains or damp patches around cabinets.
Timing matters. You get better price leverage, avoid costly surprises like a failing roof or a damp subfloor, and you reduce the risk of delays with insurance or lending due to unpermitted work.
