Buying without a proper check can leave you with leaks, unsafe wiring, movement in the structure, or pest damage that costs thousands to fix and can hurt insurance later. We carry out a pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, covering structure, roof, interior, wet areas, drainage, and visible plumbing and electrical, with moisture readings, clear photos, and a plain English report.
Our inspectors are licensed and insured with many house inspections completed across Foxton. We enter subfloor and roof space when it is safe, we use moisture metres and thermal imaging, and we explain risks and likely repair costs in clear language.

Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection can saddle you with hidden leaks, structural movement, unsafe wiring, and unconsented alterations that slow finance or void insurance. We carry out thorough building inspections in Foxton and give you a clear report so you can negotiate or walk away with confidence.
At Manawatu Building Inspections, our licensed inspectors in Foxton follow established standards for building inspections, use moisture metres and thermal imaging, and physically check every accessible area from roof to subfloor.

Buying fast in Foxton creates blind spots that hide moisture issues, structural movement, pest damage, or unsafe wiring, so we run pre-purchase house inspections on same-day notice, cover structure, roof and roof void, plumbing and drainage, electrical safety, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, and send a clear photo report with moisture readings and repair guidance you can use to negotiate. Common mistakes include relying on a seller report, skipping the roof void or subfloor, or booking after the cooling-off period, which removes your negotiating power and leaves you with the repair bills.
Choose Manawatu Building Inspections because we focus on risk that affects safety, cost, and value, not a checkbox exercise. We show up on time, follow recognized building standards, talk you through findings, and stand behind every report so you can act with confidence.

The common snag with a pre-purchase house inspection is rushing it or treating it like a checkbox. A practical fix is to schedule it before you remove conditions and make sure it’s a full building inspection that covers structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, drainage, and safety; a tiny check you can do now is to run every tap for one minute to spot slow drains and scan ceilings for stains. Time matters.
Use these and you cut surprise repair bills, gain real leverage to negotiate price or repairs, and avoid delays with lenders or insurers caused by undisclosed issues. Do not skip it.
If you are buying in Foxton, our team can carry out thorough house inspections fast with plain language reports. You can contact Manawatu Building Inspections to book a pre-purchase house inspection or request a quote.
A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed building inspection of a home’s condition done before you commit to buying. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other parts to find hidden issues, similar in scope to a pre-sale house inspection. For a clear picture before you buy, contact Manawatu Building Inspections in Foxton at 0800 000 419.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear picture of the home’s condition–like thorough house inspections or building inspections–and helps you avoid costly surprises after closing. It also gives you leverage for price negotiations, much like how a pre-sale house inspection helps set fair expectations. Call Manawatu Building Inspections in Foxton at 0800 000 419 to schedule your inspection today.
Book the inspection right after your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes binding. That window gives you time to read the house inspections report, ask about any issues, and decide your next steps; the same timing makes sense for a pre-sale house inspection or other building inspections. To book your inspection, contact Manawatu Building Inspections in Foxton at 0800 000 419.
The report gives clear, in-depth findings for every area we can reach in the home, as you’d expect from thorough house inspections or building inspections, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We add photos and notes to make the results easy to understand, and this is the same level of detail you’d see in a pre-sale house inspection. To get a comprehensive report, contact Manawatu Building Inspections at 0800 000 419.

Our inspectors at Manawatu Building Inspections know Manawatu housing stock, common foundation and roof issues, and what local buyers, sellers, and lenders expect.

You get punctual arrivals, unbiased findings, and repair priority guidance that helps you negotiate or plan work with confidence. Many buyers and sellers skip crawlspaces, do not check permits, or rely only on a quick walk-through, and that is how people miss active leaks, unsafe decks, ungrounded outlets, or unpermitted work that can delay closing or lead to costly repairs.
Our building inspections cover structure, exterior cladding, roofing, gutters, drainage, interior finishes, moisture and leak testing with calibrated meters, electrical and plumbing observations, and signs of pests or unsafe work, which helps you prevent costly repairs and spot unapproved changes. Pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection and new build stage checks help you decide, plan repairs, negotiate with confidence, and avoid council notices or lender delays.
