Our pre-purchase house inspection covers the structure, roof space, subfloor, services, and site, and we deliver a clear same day report so you decide with confidence and meet tight contract timeframes.
People call us because we are licensed and insured inspectors in Waiwhetu who have completed many house inspections and we use moisture metres, thermal imaging, and safe access to the roof and subfloor to do the job right.

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection right up against finance and miss roof leaks, damp subfloors, or unsafe wiring which leads to big repair bills after settlement. Book it during your cooling off period, show up, and do one quick check by running every tap and shower for a minute while you watch the drains.
These steps cut repair surprises by thousands, reduce safety risks from faulty wiring or leaks, and give you real bargaining power on price or repairs. Skip them and you risk missed foundation movement, hidden water damage, unsafe electrical work, tougher insurance approvals, and big out-of-pocket repairs after you move in.

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you commit to buying. The inspection looks at structural elements, the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key parts to find hidden issues–similar to what’s reviewed in many house inspections and building inspections, and some sellers even book a pre-sale house inspection. For peace of mind before you buy, reach out to Lower Hutt House Inspections in Waiwhetu at 0800 754 161.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you a correct view of the property’s condition, so you can spot problems early and avoid costly surprises after closing.

Unexpected defects can wreck a budget, stall a sale, and spark insurance or lender delays. At Lower Hutt House Inspections, we handle building inspections in Lower Hutt including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection so you catch problems early and move forward with clear numbers, and we schedule them before you close, before you list, or before your builder warranty ends.
We are licensed and insured inspectors with many years on sites, not just behind a desk. We follow the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors Standards of Practice, use thermal imaging and moisture meters, access the roof and crawl space when safe, and we never skip common trouble spots like ground fault circuit interrupter outlets, drainage, and past water damage.
You get fast scheduling, flat pricing, and an inspector who will walk the property with you and explain what matters right now. We show up on time, we separate the safety issues from small maintenance items, and we back our work with insurance and easy reinspections after repairs.
Our services cover building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase inspections, month eleven warranty checks, moisture intrusion investigations, and re-inspections after repairs, and each service helps you negotiate better, meet lender or insurance needs, avoid unsafe conditions, and plan smart upkeep. Common mistakes are skipping the crawlspace or roof, relying only on a seller disclosure, booking late after you remove your contingency, or choosing only the cheapest option, and those choices can lead to hidden water damage, unsafe wiring, structural movement, pest issues, unpermitted work that slows closing, and large repair bills after you get the keys.
