​
When do I get an inspection report?
The report is usually delivered by email to you within 24 hours of the inspection. It includes a colour coded, complete summary of the conditions of your home as well as details all all the defects and maintenance issues that need further care.

How long does a home inspection take?
A typical house inspection including a comprehensive written report usually takes about 3-4 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, the availability of access. (Usually 1hr on-site)

What do you look at?
We inspect all the major elements of the house, this includes; the roof/roof cavity and cladding/exterior joinery and flashings, weather-tigheness, exterior cladding, structure, a cursory check of the electrical, plumbing and drainage, hot water cylinder, gas systems (bering in mind we are not qualified Electricians, Plumbers/Drianlayers, Gas fitters, Appliance or Heap Pump Specialists), insulation, foundations, sub floor and interior finishing. Our aim is to identify the significant defects and any obvious deferred maintenance issues and level of risk that would affect a typical buyer's decision to purchase.

How much does an inspection cost?
Our starting fee for an inspection and report is $490 incl GST, however, some factors will affect the fee including: The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and storeys, cladding type, hillside properties and the age of dwelling. If you are comparing home inspection firms, the fee charged should not be the deciding factor unless the level of service offered is identical. Remember, you are considering a major purchase and your choice of home inspector should be based on getting the best value, not just the best price. 

What is included in the fee?
Complete house inspection conducted by an LBP Qualified builder.
A comprehensive written house inspection report compliant with NZS 4306:2005.
Follow-up phone call; with any further questions you may have (After you have received and read the report).
Re-inspections will cost extra starting from $290 incl GST

Do I get a written report? When?
You will receive a comprehensive full colour written report PDF digital file/document sent to you via email. The report includes a summary of the condition of the home and details on all the significant defects, deferred maintenance issues and recommendations on what do do about it. Normally, delivered within 24 hours after the inspection.
​
Do you offer a warranty on the house?
A house inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It's a little like getting a check-up from your doctor.
It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty.
Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house - they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. For example, some shower cubicles leak when people use the shower but don't leak when you simply turn on and off the shower. Some roofs and sub-floor only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house.

​Do you have insurance?
Yes we have professional indemnity & public liability insurance.
