We offer the most detailed and comprehensive building inspections
Proudly Supporting Greater Auckland with Trusted Home Inspections
Many people mistakenly think a qualified builder is, therefore, automatically a qualified building inspector. This is not the case. A builder is not normally qualified as a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, a heating and ventilation engineer, or a property inspector or building surveyor. A qualified property inspector or building surveyor is a qualified, professional building surveyor which is a specialised profession and not a builder or other trade. In some cases, a builder may have these extra qualifications, but not automatically, so you must be sure you know who is undertaking your inspection.
Our team leader, William, completed three years of intensive training to become a qualified building inspector and building surveyor. He is also a builder, project manager, and professional quantity surveyor. This unique combination of skills and knowledge is passed on to our team, giving us the expertise to deliver the most comprehensive building inspections available.
We don’t just provide trusted inspections of residential and commercial properties—we offer the most thorough assessments, giving you a complete understanding of a property’s condition from the ground up. With this insight, you can make fully informed decisions before buying or selling.
To protect you from potential risks associated with a property, our inspections are designed to identify and clearly communicate these risks, helping you make confident and informed decisions.
Our Services
Our other services
House Maintenance Inspection
Your property’s critical systems need a critical eye now and again to keep your property running smoothly. We provide an inspection that thoroughly checks all systems and highlights any potential problems now or in the future – saving you time and money.
Certificate of Acceptance
We offer accredited services that include providing a certificate of acceptance when building work has taken place without building consent, or in situations where a code compliance certificate could not be provided.
New Construction Phase Inspections
Keep mistakes to an absolute minimum on your site. This inspection is the ideal way to keep track of your builder. We will visit the property multiple times to ensure it is running smoothly and on budget.
New Construction Inspection
Before you sign off on a newly constructed property, have the building inspected so that any defects or problems can be rectified by your builder before your first walkthrough. They have a duty to deliver you a finished property without defects, and we make sure that happens.
12 Month Implied Warranty / Inspection Defect Repair
With only 12 months after a build has been completed to declare any defects, we offer comprehensive services to make sure you don’t get landed with a hefty bill that would instead be covered by your builder.
Invasive + Non-Invasive Moisture Testing
Non – invasive moisture testing can protect your home from water damage, using thermal imaging and drone photography to get the job done. Invasive testing can be carried out to identify areas of concern.
PRE SALE & PRE PURCHASE Insepctions
Before selling a home, it is essential to know its condition. A pre sale house inspection (otherwise known as a Maintenance or Condition Survey) is an inspection and report that is ordered by the home owner or vendor, and its purpose is to reveal any potential problems that exist within the property before it goes to market. It’s important to have this inspection carried out by experts who are thorough and don’t leave anything out – as any undisclosed disrepair or weathertightness issues can lead to future lawsuits being brought against the seller by the buyer. By learning about the repair requirements before selling, you give yourself the opportunity to either fix the problem and protect the value of your home, or obtain quotes for the repair, which can then be disclosed during the selling process.
A pre-purchase inspection is a separate report that can be ordered by the buyer to ascertain the condition of your property before buying it, but it is not the same thing as a pre-sale house inspection. You should never expect the buyer to be responsible for learning the condition of your home. Any substantial issues are your responsibility and, if left undisclosed or unresolved, can lead to legal action. Knowing and disclosing the full extent of your property’s condition safeguards your sale, and yourself, from any unnecessary action or upset.

If you are looking for a house inspection, talk to William and Jenny from Auckland Affordable Inspect a Home. They were professional and friendly throughout the process of booking and inspection, and provided a stellar report accurately depicting the status of the home they inspected for me. Not once I felt pressured or rushed during the inspection process, and everything was explained to me in detail and clarity. Seriously, give these guys a call, and you will not regret it.
