About Us
Hidden issues can wreck a sale, stall permits, or put people at risk, and they tend to show up after you commit money. Lower Hutt House Inspections tackles this head on with detailed building inspections in Lower Hutt, plus pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection that uncover problems early and lay out clear next steps.
Our inspectors are licensed builders with deep local know-how in Lower Hutt, and we work to current building codes and council rules. We check the roof, subfloor, exterior cladding, structure, plumbing, and electrical with moisture meters and thermal imaging where needed, and we go into tight spaces when it is safe, with most homes taking about two to three hours.
You get a clear same day report with photos, plain language, and practical repair guidance you can use to negotiate or plan work. We show up on time, carry the right insurance, answer your questions after the visit, and stand by our findings.
Our services cover full building inspections for buyers and owners, pre-purchase inspection for due diligence before you sign, pre-sale inspection to fix issues before you list, and new build phase checks at foundation, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final so permit sign offs and the certificate of occupancy stay smooth. These visits make sure work follows local code, help you plan repairs with real costs, and help you pass city inspections without delay.
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.
