Hidden defects in the roof, subfloor, wiring, and wet areas can blow your budget, and many buyers skip the roof space, the crawl space, or rely on a quick walk through with no written report, which can leave you stuck with unsafe wiring or leaks that insurers won’t cover. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds structural, moisture, plumbing, electrical, and safety issues before you go unconditional, using ladders, crawl space access, thermal imaging, and moisture metres, with a same day report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
We are local to Hokowhitu, licensed and insured, and we inspect to accredited building inspection standards using moisture metres, thermal scanning, and safe access to subfloor and roof space where possible. Many buyers rely on a quick once over or book the inspection after finance approval, which weakens your negotiation power and can leave you paying for pre existing faults after settlement.

Hidden faults like foundation cracks, active leaks, unsafe wiring, and poor drainage can add thousands and stall finance or settlement, and many buyers book too late or rely on a seller report. We carry out a thorough pre-purchase house inspection in Hokowhitu so you know the real condition before you go firm and can negotiate or walk with confidence.
Here is how our inspection process works from first call to handover.
Our method is fast, methodical, and built for real decisions, with licensed inspectors, modern tools like thermal imaging and moisture metres, and plain language reports delivered within twenty four hours. The big mistakes are skipping building inspections, booking too late, trusting a quick walk-through, or not reading the limits of house inspections, and when you don’t do it correct you risk safety issues, insurance or lender pushback, and losing the chance to negotiate repairs or price, which we help you avoid.

Hidden defects in roofs, foundations, wiring, plumbing, drainage, and pests are easy to miss when you are under time pressure. Rushing or skipping a pre-purchase house inspection, hiring an unlicensed inspector, or not reading the report can leave you with mould, unsafe electrics, a failing roof, loan or insurance setbacks, and big repair bills, and we stop that by checking the lot during your due diligence period and giving you clear next steps.
What you gain from our pre-purchase house inspection.
We are local to Hokowhitu and know the common cladding types, soil and drainage quirks, and permit history issues that catch buyers out in house inspections. Our qualified inspectors at Palmerston North Building Inspections are independent, carry full insurance, use modern testing tools, and talk you through the findings the same day.

A common snag is booking the pre-purchase house inspection too late or accepting a seller referral, which can hide defects and wreck your chance to renegotiate. Hire an independent, licensed inspector before the cooling off period begins, and a quick check is to flip every light switch and run every tap for thirty seconds during the viewing to spot power or pressure issues.
Timing matters. Done right, a pre-purchase house inspection is a visual check of the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundations and subfloor, interior rooms, plumbing and electrical fixtures, plus moisture testing and clear photos, with a written report usually delivered within one day; follow these steps and you’ll spot leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, or unapproved work early, so you can negotiate repairs, budget right, or walk away before you overpay, and you avoid common mistakes that lead to surprise costs, finance delays, or trouble with insurance.

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, or a tired foundation can blow up a deal or slow a remodel. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with clear photo reports that find problems early so you can act not guess.
We have years working in Palmerston North and real know-how with local codes, materials, and common problem spots. Our team uses moisture meters, thermal scanning, and careful on site methods, and we go into attics and crawl spaces and up to the roof when it is safe to do so.
You get a same day digital report with clear photos, plain language, a priority list, and repair cost ranges, plus a phone walkthrough so nothing is left fuzzy. We help you avoid the slip ups we see every week, like skipping the roof and attic, ignoring permit history, or booking too late, because those lead to surprise repairs, insurance pushback, appraisal snags, or a delayed closing.
Our pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection follow a practical method that covers structure, roof, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical safety, drainage, and moisture so you can avoid blown budgets, failed negotiations, or settlement delays. During building inspections we start outside and on the roof where safe, then the interior, roof space, and subfloor where accessible, we test fixtures and fittings, run moisture scans, note safety risks and maintenance, and we finish with a report that ranks defects by urgency and repair priority.
