About Us
Buying or selling in Manawatu without the right checks can lead to pricey surprises. At Manawatu House Inspections, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that take two to four hours on site and come with a same day report so you can act fast.
We are licensed and insured, and we’ve logged hundreds of inspections across homes, condos, and small commercial spaces in Manawatu. We run water and fixtures, test outlets and safety devices, scan for moisture and temperature patterns, check structure and roof lines, and document everything with clear photos and notes.
You get fast scheduling, on-time arrival, and a same day or next day report that calls out risk, urgency, and practical fixes. We stay available for questions, we talk through the report by phone, and we help you avoid the usual traps that lead to blown budgets, delays, or last-minute walkaways.
Our services cover buyer inspections during the due diligence or contingency period, seller tune ups before you list, new construction phase checks, annual maintenance inspections, and re-inspections after repairs. Each visit helps you catch safety hazards like faulty electrical work, leaks, roofing defects, failing foundations, pests, and unpermitted changes that can stall closings, cause city fines, or create insurance headaches.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
