Compare the best local building inspectors for pre-purchase and pre-sale building inspections. Check that the inspector is independent and reports to the NZS 4306 residential inspection standard before you commit to a purchase.

GetListed covers building inspections in Whangārei and across Northland, including Whangārei, Kerikeri, Kaitāia, Paihia and Dargaville. A person checks every listing before it goes live, and you contact the business directly, with no lead fees and no middleman.
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.
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.
