NZ Building Reports - Palmerston North City, New Zealand

Why get a house inspection?

We know that purchasing a house is likely to be the biggest investment you'll ever make and it can be a daunting decision. The worst possible scenario is to buy a property and 6 months down the track you find you're all getting sick from contamination or you find the house has significant faults that could literally cost you the home.

You NEED to know any potentially costly issues that might need remedying by the vendor before settlement or to possibly negotiate a price reduction with.

You NEED to know your property is safe and was built to last and our building reports are carried out by one of the few actually Certified Building Inspectors, fully trained and experienced to ensure the information we provide you is as accurate as possible. At NZ
