We carry out a pre-purchase house inspection before you sign or during your cooling off period so you know the true state of the home, the risks, and likely repair costs.
Many buyers rush or lean on a quick checklist and miss leaks, subfloor rot, unsafe wiring, or drainage faults, then pay for it after settlement.

Here is what you gain when our house inspections happen before you finalise the purchase.
We check the roof space, subfloor, exterior, structure, foundations, moisture levels, plumbing, electrical, drainage, ventilation, heating, insulation, and site grading, and we use thermal imaging and moisture metres when they add value. We book quickly before offer or during your cooling off period, we are fully insured, we’re independent, and we know Papatoetoe conditions such as soil movement and termite risk, which cuts the chance of missed issues that can blow up your budget or hold up finance and insurance later.

Rushing costs you. Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection or rely on a seller report and end up missing leaks, termite damage, or unconsented work, so make your offer subject to a full building inspections report from a licensed inspector who spends two to three hours checking roof space, subfloor, exterior cladding, drainage, plumbing, and electrical, and as a quick check run all taps for three minutes to see if any drains back up.
With these steps, you spot big problems early, like roof leaks, unsafe wiring, moisture intrusion, or termite activity, and you keep room to ask for repairs or a price drop before you commit. Inspections pay off.
If you’re buying in Papatoetoe, we know the local soils, builders, and common defects. Contact South Auckland House Inspections to book a pre-purchase house inspection or request a quote today.
A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you sign the contract. This house inspection–a form of building inspection–covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other areas to find defects or hidden issues (similar to a pre-sale house inspection from the seller’s side). For peace of mind before you commit, call South Auckland House Inspections in Papatoetoe at 0800 694 159.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you an exact picture of the home’s condition, helping you avoid expensive surprises after closing.

Buying or selling without a proper look at the building can lead to nasty surprises in South Auckland. We carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find issues early and give you clear next steps.
Our inspectors are licensed builders with deep local know-how in South Auckland, and we work to current building codes and council rules. We check the roof, subfloor, exterior cladding, structure, plumbing, and electrical with moisture meters and thermal imaging where needed, and we go into tight spaces when it’s safe, with most homes taking about two to three hours.
You get fast scheduling, on time arrivals, and clear repair priorities with practical costs so you can plan. Many people book too late during a short contingency, skip the roof or crawl space, or pick the cheapest inspector without insurance, and we avoid those traps with proper access planning, full coverage, and proof of insurance on request.
We cover full home and commercial building inspections, buyer focused pre-purchase inspection during your option period, seller focused pre-sale inspection before you list, new construction phase checks at pre-pour, frame, pre-drywall, and final, plus eleven month warranty and multi unit inspections. Skipping basics like roof access, utility on checks, GFCI and AFCI testing, drainage grading review, and moisture scanning leads to surprise repairs, reinspection fees, failed appraisals, stop work orders, or insurance claim trouble, so we make sure power, water, gas, and clear access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, and water heater are ready before we arrive.
