Hidden rot, roof leaks, unsafe wiring, or unapproved work can blow your budget after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection, done before you bid or during your due diligence window, finds material faults and gives you a photo-rich report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
We are local to Days Bay and carry out house inspections and building inspections with licensed, insured inspectors who have built and renovated homes. We get into the roof space and subfloor, use moisture meters and thermal imaging when needed, and deliver same day photo reports, because rushed walk throughs and checklist only reports miss defects that can cost thousands after settlement.

Hidden defects sink budgets, and the big ones we see in a pre-purchase house inspection are roof leaks, subfloor damp, poor drainage, unsafe wiring, termite damage, and unapproved building work. Most buyers book too late, skip moisture or pest checks, or trust a seller report, so we step in early, coordinate access before auction or during your cooling off period, and give you a clear independent view you can act on.
Here is how we run building inspections from booking to decision.
At Lower Hutt House Inspections, we move fast without cutting corners. Our licensed and insured inspectors use thermal imaging, moisture metres, ladders, and gas and electrical safety testing to cover roof, attic, crawl space, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning with the same care we bring to full building inspections and house inspections, and our reports land on time and read like a guide you can act on.
Book your pre-purchase house inspection to lock in your inspection window and avoid surprises after settlement. Contact us to schedule, get pricing, and see a sample report so you can move forward with clear facts.
Hidden defects, unconsented work, and safety risks can drain your budget and cause finance delays or insurance refusal, and common mistakes include skipping the roof space and subfloor, relying on a seller report, or booking a pre-purchase house inspection after the cooling off period. We run thorough building inspections in Days Bay with moisture metres, thermal checks, and photos, and we give a same-day report that supports finance, insurance, and negotiation before you go unconditional.
Here is what our building inspections give you.
We are licensed and insured, and our inspectors spend two to three hours on site checking the roof, foundation, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, interiors, exteriors, and site drainage with moisture metres and thermal imaging when helpful. We work within your contract dates, we welcome you on site, and we cover all of Days Bay with house inspections and building inspections that give you clarity, because the most common buyer mistakes are booking late, not attending, or relying on a friend, which leads to missed defects, no bargaining power, blown budgets, and sometimes a lost deposit.
Book your pre-purchase house inspection today and make your move with fewer surprises. Contact Lower Hutt House Inspections to schedule a time or to request a quote.
People often book a pre-purchase house inspection too late and then they cannot use the findings to adjust the price or terms. Book it before you go unconditional and expect a two to three hour walk through of roof, exterior, subfloor or crawl space, attic, plumbing, electrical, and moisture readings with photos, and do one quick check yourself by running all taps and a shower then flushing a toilet to see if pressure drops or drains gurgle.
Follow these and you spot structural movement, hidden moisture, dodgy drainage, and unsafe wiring early, so you can negotiate repairs or price drops with facts from a proper building inspection. You avoid emergency spend after move in and keep your stress low when it counts.

Lower Hutt House Inspections handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find problems early, spell out risk in plain language, and give you a clear plan before your contingency or listing goes live.
Our inspectors at Lower Hutt House Inspections know Lower Hutt housing stock, common foundation and roof issues, and what local buyers, sellers, and lenders expect. We check structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, crawl spaces, attic, site drainage, and permit history where available, and we follow recognized standards and local codes with the right tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters.
You get fast scheduling, fair pricing, and a same day digital report with photos, repair priorities, and risk levels. We pick up the phone, meet you or your contractor on site, and help you pass rechecks without delays or repeat fees.
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 Lower Hutt 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.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
