Delivering Total Peace Of Mind

Want to know everything about your new home? A Complete Home Inspection by Informed House Inspections Limited is a great first step. This is a visual inspection where all the house systems from the roof to the foundations are examined and/or tested to verify proper operation, installation and safety. You are invited to join me while we explore your new dream home together. We cover the Greater Wellington Region, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, Porirua and Kapiti Coast.

We inspect the roof, exterior, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, interior and insulation of the house. We will open and close all the doors and windows. We run all the faucets and flush the toilets. We look for evidence of leaks in the roof and basement, and identify any potential moisture problems.

The inspection takes approximately one and a half hours, if you wish to attend the inspection I would recommend coming along one hour after the arranged start time, this allows the inspector to concentrate on the task at hand and have a good understanding of the overall condition of the property. The inspector can then talk to you for as long as it takes and answer any question you may have.

It’s also a good opportunity to learn about routine maintenance requirements and expectations. Increasingly, home buyers are finding that this inspection is a good way to learn all about their new home.
