Every property is different, and an inspection is not a tick-box exercise. Auckland's housing ranges from older villas and bungalows to newer townhouses and lifestyle blocks, and each type ages in its own way. We look at the building as a whole: how it was built, how it has aged, and where moisture, movement or poor workmanship may be hiding.
Auckland areas we cover
A property's age, construction and condition matter more than its suburb. These notes show what we pay particular attention to in each part of Auckland, and every inspection is assessed on the individual property.
