Common questions

What does a pre-purchase building inspection cover?

A visual check of the structure, roof, exterior, interior, plumbing and drainage, reported against NZS 4306:2005. It can't see everything behind walls, so ask whether the inspector uses moisture meters or thermal imaging.

Do I need a LIM report as well?

Yes. A building report tells you about the condition of the house, while the council's LIM shows consents, code compliance certificates and known hazards. Together they give you the full picture.
