Did you know that we also carry out meth testing for properties and provide insurance rebuild costs for sum insured purposes?

When you buy or sell your next property have you considered getting a pre-purchase/sale property inspection (builders’ report)?

Our inspection services cover Hawke's Bay, Auckland & the Waikato.

Incheck takes the stress out of your property deal.

Buying or selling a property is like getting a warrant of fitness for your car. You wouldn’t buy a car without a warrant of fitness so why buy or sell a property without getting a Incheck property inspection for sound advice?

Incheck provides an inspection service to help you make an informed choice. We can provide you with the building knowledge and up-to-date information of building codes and compliance to make sure you buy a quality home with no surprises.

Incheck gives you the benefit of an inspector who is a qualified builder who will then give you the advantage of knowing the property you are buying or selling, you will be informed of any visual defects and you will have a clear understanding of what you are buying or selling. An informed person is a confident person.

Questions and Answers

What will the property inspection report give me?

A property inspection report is a non-invasive visual report. It will detail things such as the visual condition of the foundations/piles, the roof and guttering, any defects such as cracks in the cladding, the quality of insulation, and any detected moisture – all the things you would like to know to make a sale possible.

Will the report tell me what I should do with the property?

No – we will give you written details of our visual inspection of the property. We can provide further information of any defect detected and we can advise you about any specialist you may need to investigate any issues.

What do I do if the report shows problems with the property?

Incheck will provide you with a detailed report so that you can make an informed choice, but the decision is yours. We can make sure you talk to the appropriate specialist if necessary.

How will I know how much it will cost to put things right?

Incheck can advise you of some of the potential costs or we will put you in touch with a specialist who can.
