Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection is how people inherit leaks, unsafe wiring, foundation movement, and pest damage that viewings hide, and relying on a bank valuation or a handy friend is a common and costly mistake. We carry out the inspection before you sign the contract or during your offer period, with a full visual check inside and out plus moisture readings and a clear report so you can negotiate or walk away.
We are licensed, insured, and local to Karaka, and we follow clear reporting standards used across house inspections and building inspections. We spend the time on site to find real issues, deliver a plain English report fast, and stay available to talk through next steps.

Here in Karaka, we see buyers book too late or accept a quick look that skips the roof space and subfloor, then miss leaks, termite activity, unsafe wiring, or poor drainage that can blow the budget. Make your offer subject to a pre-purchase house inspection, and on your first walk through run each tap for one minute and look under sinks for drips or swollen cabinetry, then ask for a two to three hour check that covers roof space, subfloor, exterior, interiors, plumbing, electrical, drainage, and a same day building inspections report with photos and moisture readings.
Timing matters. Done right, a pre-purchase house inspection is a visual check of the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundations and subfloor, interior rooms, plumbing and electrical fixtures, plus moisture testing and clear photos, with a written report usually delivered within one day; follow these steps and you will spot leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, or unapproved work early, so you can negotiate repairs, budget right, or walk away before you overpay, and you avoid common mistakes that lead to surprise costs, finance delays, or trouble with insurance.

In Auckland, covering work before a rough inspection, missing permits, or having the power or water off will lead to a failed city visit, fines, stop work orders, and trouble with lenders or insurers later. Papakura House Inspections tackles this with building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, and new construction stage checks that get you ready for city signoffs and protect you from costly surprises.
We are based in Auckland and we inspect homes here every week, so we know the typical moisture traps, tired roofing, and unpermitted changes that show up. Our team brings proven skill, careful reporting, safe access to roofs and subfloors when conditions allow, and a tidy process backed by insurance and strict internal reviews.
You get a clear, photo rich report the same day that ranks safety, major, and minor findings and gives plain next steps with repair timelines. We answer your questions before and after, schedule fast, carry general liability and errors and omissions insurance, and show up when we say we will, because skipping a proper inspection or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to surprise structural costs, unsafe wiring, lender or insurance delays, failed appraisals, or correction notices from your local building department.
We cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks at footing, slab, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final, warranty punch lists, and permit closeout reviews. Each visit looks at structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, moisture, safety, and basic code items, which helps you plan repairs, avoid covering work before a rough inspection, make sure there is safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
