Buying a home without the right checks can hide costly defects and safety risks that only show up after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds structural, moisture, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and drainage issues before you commit or during your cooling off period, so you can negotiate, walk away, or buy with confidence.
We are licensed and insured, we use moisture metres and thermal imaging when needed, and we deliver reports the same day that buyers can actually read and act on. In Waterloo, we’ve completed many house inspections and building inspections, we welcome you on site, and we help you avoid common mistakes like booking after you go unconditional or skipping a pest check.

Hidden structural movement, moisture, unsafe wiring, and termite damage often go unseen during open homes and seller disclosures.

At Lower Hutt House Inspections, our licensed inspectors in Waterloo follow recognised standards for building inspections, use moisture meters and thermal imaging, and physically check every accessible area from roof to subfloor. Many buyers skip the check, rely on a seller report, or pick the cheapest option, which often leads to costly repairs, insurance issues, or safety risks after settlement, so we give a plain English photo report the same day and talk you through the findings.

You should book early with an inspection clause and ask for photo evidence of any defects, and for a quick check you can run all taps at once to see if drains slow or pressure drops.
Use these and you catch water ingress, unsafe wiring, and unconsented work before you commit, which lets you renegotiate or walk away without losing time or money. Our building inspections and house inspections check the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundation and subfloor, drainage, plumbing and basic electrical, insulation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, plus moisture testing with a metre, then we send a photo report within twenty four hours to cut surprise repair bills and keep settlement on track.
