When should I get one?
Before you make an unconditional offer. The inspection should be a condition of your offer — this gives you the right to negotiate price, request repairs, or withdraw if serious issues are found.
Common Questions
Can I attend the inspection?
Absolutely — we encourage it. Attend for the last 30-45 minutes so you can see findings firsthand and ask questions directly.
How long does it take?
Typically 2-3 hours for a standard house. Larger properties or those with more issues may take longer.
Will it affect my offer?
The inspection is usually a condition of your offer. If serious issues are found, you can renegotiate price, request repairs, or withdraw.
Do you inspect new builds?
Yes. New builds still have defects — builder errors, consent issues, weathertightness problems. We recommend inspecting every property regardless of age.
