Buying a house without the right checks can leave you with leaks, unsafe wiring, pest damage, or structural movement that cost thousands later. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds major and minor issues before you sign or before your cooling off period ends, and we give a clear report with photos so you can negotiate or walk away.
We are local to Ardmore, fully insured, and we deliver clear, photo-rich reports that help you make the right call. We move fast within your cooling-off window, we explain common mistakes such as booking too late, skipping the roof space, or relying on a verbal opinion with no written report, and we help you avoid surprise structural repairs and lost bargaining power through careful house inspections and building inspections.

Buying a home in Ardmore without a thorough pre-purchase house inspection can hide defects like foundation movement, roof leaks, unsafe wiring, and termite damage that turn into five figure repairs and real safety risks. We carry out independent building inspections and house inspections before you sign, before auction, or during your cooling off, use moisture metres and thermal imaging to spot issues early, and deliver a plain language report with photos and repair guidance, which avoids the common mistakes of relying on a seller report or booking after the cooling off.
We check every accessible part of the property, use moisture testing and thermal imaging, and deliver clear reports the same day, and most building inspections take only a few hours. The right time is before you sign or your offer is subject to a satisfactory inspection because skipping or rushing the process leads to missed defects, safety risks, and costly repairs.

Hidden moisture, unsafe wiring, and roof or subfloor issues don’t show up during a quick viewing, and time is tight during a building clause.

Choose Papakura House Inspections because we focus on risk that affects safety, cost, and value, not a checkbox exercise. We show up on time, follow recognized building standards, talk you through findings, and stand behind every report so you can act with confidence.

Here is how our inspection process works from first call to handover.
Our inspectors check structure, roof, exterior, interior, subfloor and attic where safe, electrical and plumbing fixtures, drainage and site grading, moisture and pests, and we follow the relevant standards for house inspections and building inspections.

We book quickly before offer or during your cooling off period, we’re fully insured, we are independent, and we know Ardmore conditions such as soil movement and termite risk, which cuts the chance of missed issues that can blow up your budget or hold up finance and insurance later.

People rush the process, then miss costly defects. Book your pre-purchase house inspection before you sign and ask the agent now if the roof space and subfloor are accessible today.
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 sign the contract. This house inspection–a form of building inspection–covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other areas to find defects or hidden issues (similar to a pre-sale house inspection from the seller’s side). For peace of mind before you commit, call Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear picture of the home’s condition–like thorough house inspections or building inspections–and helps you avoid costly surprises after closing. It also gives you an advantage in price negotiations, much like how a pre-sale house inspection helps set fair expectations. Call Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159 to schedule your inspection today.
Book the inspection right after your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes binding. This gives you time to read the house inspection report from the building inspection and make a well-informed choice. To book, call Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159.
The report covers all accessible parts of the home with clear findings, including structural components, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Photos and notes are added to make the results easy to understand. For a comprehensive report on house inspections, building inspections, or a pre-sale house inspection, contact Papakura House Inspections at 0800 694 159.
Yes–if the inspection report uncovers defects or safety issues, you can often use those findings to push for repairs, a credit, or a lower price with the seller. This is a big reason buyers book house inspections and building inspections before going firm; solid reports support the price, and problem lists give you bargaining power. Sellers sometimes order a pre-sale house inspection for the same reason–fewer surprises. Don’t miss this chance–call Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159 to schedule your inspection.
Typical findings are damaged or ageing roofs, plumbing leaks, electrical faults, structural cracking or movement, drainage issues, and pest activity. Catching these early during a house inspection or pre-sale house inspection can save you money and stress. Book your building inspection with Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159.
In most cases, the buyer covers the pre-purchase house inspection because it’s done to protect their investment and help them make a clear decision; this kind of house inspection–often called a building inspection–checks the property before they commit. It’s a small cost for major peace of mind. Contact Papakura House Inspections in Ardmore at 0800 694 159 to get started.

Hidden leaks, rot, or unsafe wiring can derail finance, cause insurance disputes, and drain your budget fast. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection in Auckland with clear findings so you can move forward without nasty surprises.
Our licensed inspectors work across Auckland every week and know local code, lender expectations, and what tends to fail in homes here. We get on roofs when safe, enter roof spaces and subfloors, test moisture, and use thermal scanning when needed because the biggest mistakes are skipping hard-to-reach areas, trusting a seller note, or rushing the job, which is how expensive problems stay hidden.
You get straight talk, no upsell, and no conflicts because we do inspections only and we do not do repairs. We show up on time, we answer the phone, and we stick with you after the report because skipping or rushing an inspection can lead to safety risks, bounced deals, city notices for unpermitted work, or insurance headaches in Auckland.
We offer full building inspections for homes and small commercial spaces, pre-purchase inspection for buyers, pre-sale inspection for sellers, new build and warranty checks, and re-inspections after repairs. These visits catch safety hazards, code red flags in Auckland, hidden moisture, and aging systems before they turn into bigger bills or lender and insurer problems.
