Buying a Property Shouldn't Be a Gamble

The building inspection industry is unregulated, so anyone can be an inspector, even if they are not qualified or trained.

This can lead to missed issues which can leave new homeowners with costly surprises.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

What People Are Saying

  • “Thanks to James, I was able to save thousands of dollars again after getting a building inspection done for the property I recently purchased.

    From the beginning Claire explained to me what to expect, everything that I needed to know & even provided me with example report & she was extremely easy to deal with.

    The comprehensive, well written report I received after the inspection was not only meticulously documented addressing all concerns with evidence so this made the entire inspection process transparent and educational.

    I wholeheartedly recommend JC Consultants to anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented professional for their property inspections. With James you can rest assured that you will be in the hands of a true expert who takes pride in delivering top-notch service.”

  • “I have so much praise for these guys, they have the best customer service and have gone above and beyond for us with sound advice with two building reports done and we had very tight timeframes that they did their best to accommodate. I could easily say they are some of the best around with their comprehensive reports. Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to know exactly what they are buying.”

    — Chantal

What is involved with a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection?

A pre-purchase building inspection is all about understanding the condition of a property and if there are any red flags that you should be concerned by.
After a inspection visit, you will receive a comprehensive report that details all the different aspects of the property. 

These are the key areas we cover in the inspection process:

  • Roofing

  • Roof Cavity

  • Interior rooms

  • Exterior

  • Foundation

  • Site and land

  • Leaks and weathertightness checks

  • Electrical

  • Plumbing and Drainage

  • Health & Safety

  • Workmanship

  • Pests

What is included in the Building Report?

Consider our Building Reports to be a manual for your house. It contains all the results of our findings from the building inspection. There will be a written component as well as photos taken at the inspection.

The report uses a traffic light system to highlight areas of major, moderate and low concern. This easy to read system clearly shows any issues that need to be addressed immediately, or if there are tasks that can be completed as part of general home maintenance.

With a building report, you get a complete understanding of the property. It allows you to negotiate with confidence with the vendor or realtor as you know exactly what needs to be addressed.

We want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision, which is why we are always on hand to help you understand the report if needed. We also report to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, so you can be assured you are receiving honest and accurate advice.
