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 Kelvin Grove and our inspectors have carried out many house inspections with clear, plain language reporting that helps you negotiate with confidence. We welcome you on site, talk through findings, and back our work with proper insurance and proven methods.

Hidden structural movement, moisture, unsafe wiring, and termite damage often go unseen during open homes and seller disclosures. Book a pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional or during the cooling off period, because booking late or skipping the roof space or subfloor can leave you with costly repairs and no bargaining power to renegotiate.
Qualified inspectors use moisture metres and thermal imaging, enter accessible roof spaces and subfloors when safe, and then deliver a clear, same day report with photos and plain language. We carry out house inspections and building inspections across Kelvin Grove every week, we are fully insured, and we explain the findings on a follow up call so nothing is left unclear.

Buying fast in Kelvin Grove creates blind spots that hide moisture issues, structural movement, pest damage, or unsafe wiring, so we run pre-purchase house inspections on same-day notice, cover structure, roof and roof void, plumbing and drainage, electrical safety, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, and send a clear photo report with moisture readings and repair guidance you can use to negotiate. Common mistakes include relying on a seller report, skipping the roof void or subfloor, or booking after the cooling-off period, which removes your negotiating power and leaves you with the repair bills.
Choose us because we get into the hard spaces, photograph what we find, sample moisture in wet areas, check grading and drainage, test accessible fixtures, and flag urgent safety items with likely cost ranges. Skipping a proper inspection, relying on an agent report, or fixating on paint and not structure leads to missed hazards, insurance pushback on selfcontrol damage, and repair bills that blow your budget, and our process prevents that with clear, prompt guidance from a Kelvin Grove team that answers your calls.
Book your pre-purchase house inspection in Kelvin Grove now, before auction day or during your cooling off window, so you can buy with clear facts and no guesswork. Call us to ask questions, lock in a time, or get a detailed quote today.
Hidden moisture, old wiring, failing drainage, and unpermitted work are common, and buyers often rush the process, skip the roof or drainage, or trust a seller disclosure and then face large repair bills.

This is how we run house inspections and building inspections from booking to answers.
Skipping or rushing this part can lead to large repair bills, finance delays, and insurance problems. Our licensed inspectors use moisture metres and thermal imaging where needed, check roof space and subfloor when safe, and deliver same day photo reports with plain language and repair cost ranges so you can decide fast and right.

Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection can hide structural movement, leaks, termite activity, unsafe wiring, and unconsented work that turn into large repair bills after settlement. We book fast in Kelvin Grove and carry out thorough house inspections and building inspections before you go unconditional or before auction day, using moisture metres and thermal scanning, checking roof spaces and subfloors where safe, and giving a plain language report with photos and repair cost ranges so you can decide with confidence.
What you get when you book with us
We go into the roof space and subfloor where safe, check exterior drainage and grading, test moisture at wet areas, probe timber where signs show, and document defects with photos and severity ratings. Many buyers rely on a seller report, skip the roof space, or ignore exclusions such as services not tested under pressure, so we explain the limits in plain language and give you clear next steps.
Book your pre-purchase house inspection while your contract timelines are open. Call Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove to lock in a time or ask for a quote today.
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.
You gain time to negotiate the price, ask for repairs, or walk away before you spend on the wrong house. You make cleaner decisions because we check roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical, we scan for hidden moisture with metres and thermal imaging, and you receive a same day written report with photos you can use to plan or negotiate.
If you are in Kelvin Grove, we handle thorough house inspections and building inspections with clear, plain reports you can act on. Contact Palmerston North Building Inspections to book a service or request a quote today.
A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a home’s condition done before you commit to buying. As one of the most common house inspections, it sits under building inspections and covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other parts to find hidden problems. For peace of mind before you buy–or if you need a pre-sale house inspection–contact Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear picture of the home’s condition–like thorough house inspections or building inspections–and helps you avoid costly surprises after closing. It also gives you leverage for price negotiations, much like how a pre-sale house inspection helps set fair expectations. Call Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419 to schedule your inspection today.
Arrange the pre-purchase building inspection as soon as your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes binding. This timing lets you review the findings that house inspections cover and make a clear decision. To book your inspection, call Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419.
The report lays out clear findings for every accessible part of the home, covering structural components, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems–the same scope you’d expect from house inspections, building inspections, or a pre-sale house inspection. Photos and short notes are typically added to make things easy to see and understand. To get a complete report, contact Palmerston North Building Inspections at 0800 000 419.
Yes. If the inspection turns up defects or safety issues, you can use the report to ask for repairs, a price cut, or a seller credit at closing. This is common with house inspections and building inspections and gives you solid bargaining power, much like a pre-sale house inspection does for the seller. Don’t miss the chance–call Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419 to book your inspection.
Typical issues are roof wear or damage, leaking plumbing, electrical faults, structural movement or cracks, poor drainage and moisture problems, and pest activity or infestations. Catching these early can save you money and stress, whether it’s a pre-purchase check or a pre-sale house inspection as part of building inspections. Book your inspection with Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419.
In most cases, the buyer pays for the pre-purchase inspection because it helps protect their investment and guides their decision. It’s a small spend for major peace of mind from house inspections and building inspections. Sellers sometimes order a pre-sale house inspection on their own, but that’s separate and does not change who pays for the buyer’s report. Call Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419 to get started.
Choose a seasoned, licensed inspector with solid reviews and a clear, step-by-step inspection process for house inspections and building inspections.

Yes. Even well-kept homes can hide issues that are not obvious to an untrained eye. A professional house inspection or building inspection helps you make a fully informed choice. Contact Palmerston North Building Inspections in Kelvin Grove at 0800 000 419 to book an inspection, whether it’s a pre-purchase or pre-sale house inspection.
Hidden defects can derail a sale in Palmerston North or drain your budget right after you get the keys. We carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with Palmerston North Building Inspections before you buy, before you list, before or after renovations, or after a leak so you get clear facts and a plan.
At Palmerston North Building Inspections, licensed and insured inspectors who know Palmerston North building code and permitting do the work. We follow current standards, use moisture meters and thermal scans when needed, and explain what we see in plain words.
You get punctual arrivals, unbiased findings, and repair priority guidance that helps you negotiate or plan work with confidence. Many buyers and sellers skip crawlspaces, do not check permits, or rely only on a quick walk-through, and that’s how people miss active leaks, unsafe decks, ungrounded outlets, or unpermitted work that can delay closing or lead to costly repairs.
We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection plus new construction phase checks and annual maintenance reviews. Each service helps you spot issues early, confirm permits because Palmerston North requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and heating work, avoid common mistakes like skipping a sewer scope or waiting too late in a short contingency, and avoid relying on a city inspector who checks only permitted work and not the whole property.
Book building inspections in Palmerston North with a local team that picks up the phone and shows up. Call or message us with your address and timing and we’ll set the date or send a clear quote.
