Wellington’s hilly landscape and strange weather aren’t the only things that make it hard to buy a property here. Since there’s so much going against homeowners, it’s important to be thorough with your inspection before signing on the dotted line. Our property inspectors work tirelessly to give you as much of an exhaustive evaluation as we can. We’ll dig up every issue — small or big — that could cause you trouble in the future.
Seismic Resilience
Sitting on top of fault lines makes us susceptible to earthquakes and other land-based misfortunes. Hearing your house shake isn’t fun, but it’s even less enjoyable when you don’t know how well the structure will hold up. We’ve got all the knowledge and experience necessary to inspect your property for earthquake readiness. If there are steps you need to take, we’ll let you know.
Weather Tightness and Moisture Resistance
Even though Wellington is known for its wind and rain, no one wants their home exposed to it. Windy days are just a nuisance when they blow off some leaves, but heavy rainfall can lead to serious damage if there are any weaknesses in your building. Water leaking into walls creates the perfect environment for mold and rot too — two things you definitely don’t want living with you.
Electrical Systems
When was your potential property built? Older homes may have outdated electrical systems that put you at risk for accidental fires or other issues down the road. Having everything up-to-date is just as important as having anything at all.
Plumbing Systems
Problems in this department can become a real headache if they aren’t caught early enough. Leaky pipes may seem like a minor annoyance now, but they wear away at your walls over time, leading eventually to mildew or rotting wood (and not the good kind).
Pest Inspections
It’s no surprise that pests also call Wellington home. Termites and rodents can eat away at your property for years without you noticing. We don’t expect you to have a keen eye for that kind of thing, so we’ll do the work for you.
Extra Support
Our job isn’t over when our inspectors finish their analysis. Once you receive our detailed report of your future home, we’re available to answer any questions you may have about it — even if that means telling you to walk away from a potential money pit.
Start at the top of the roof and work down to the bottom. Every single component of the property is given an inspection from our experts. We check all parts of the building’s structural integrity, including tiles, shingles, gutters, and more so we can identify if leaks or structural weaknesses are present. The point of this thorough analysis is to catch any issues early on before they become a costly endeavor.
Living Spaces and External Structures
We don’t just inspect the structure either. Taking a look at living spaces and external structures like garages, sheds, decks, etc as well. We evaluate finishes, fixtures and fittings to ensure that they look good but also meet all safety standards. This comprehensive approach in making sure that these living spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but functionally sound as well.

Evaluating insulation, windows, heating/cooling systems helps us advise you on possible improvements which in turn could lead to significant savings.
