Buying a home without the right checks can hide costly defects and safety risks that only show up after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds structural, moisture, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and drainage issues before you commit or during your cooling off period, so you can negotiate, walk away, or buy with confidence.
Many buyers hire the cheapest, skip the walk-through, or skim the report, then miss safety issues and lose bargaining power. Our qualified and insured team in Whanganui carries out house inspections and building inspections, spends two to three hours on site, checks only accessible areas, invites you to attend, and delivers clear findings you can trust.

Buying a home under time pressure, before auction or during the cooling off period, means hidden faults in the roof space, subfloor, plumbing, or wiring can slip past you, and skipping pest checks or relying on the seller report is a common mistake that can lead to costly repairs, insurance issues, and finance delays. We make short deadlines workable with a thorough pre-purchase house inspection that covers structure, safety, moisture, and pests using ladders, moisture meters, and thermal imaging, then we call you to run through what matters and what it may cost.
We do house inspections every day across Whanganui, and our reports are plain, specific, and backed by real building experience. Skipping an inspection, choosing the lowest price only, not attending, or ignoring follow up trades can lead to costly repairs, safety risks, and no room to renegotiate, and we make sure you get clear findings, repair priorities, and next steps you can act on.

Buyers often book too late, rely on a verbal look-over, or skip the roof space and subfloor, and that’s how leaks, termite activity, foundation movement, and unsafe wiring slip through and later drain your budget. We run your pre-purchase house inspection in Whanganui with licensed house inspections and building inspections, coordinated access with the agent, booking before contract dates close, plain language reporting the same day, and repair cost guidance so you can negotiate or walk away with confidence.
Here is how we deliver a tight, reliable process.
Our inspectors run a tight process that is careful and fast, using moisture metres and thermal imaging when needed, and checking the roof, attic, crawl space, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and drainage. The result is a correct, plain language report with photos and practical next steps that your agent can use right away.

Hidden leaks, foundation movement, drainage issues, and seller reports that skip hard to reach areas can saddle you with costly repairs after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection is booked before your offer goes unconditional, and we check roof space and subfloor access, moisture in wet areas, structure, drainage, and visible electrical and plumbing issues, then we give a clear photo report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
What you gain from our building inspections.
We work only for buyers and we are independent, so no sales push and no conflict. Our licensed inspectors use moisture metres, thermal imaging, a drone for roof views when needed, and a borescope for tight spaces, and we cover roof space, subfloor, interior, exterior, site drainage, and visible plumbing and electrical so you get a correct, plain language report that you can use the same day.

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss small signs that lead to large repairs. Book it before your cooling off period ends and attend in person, and remember it is a visual, non-invasive review from roof to foundation that checks structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and safety, and as a quick check run the shower for two minutes and watch for a slow drain or temperature swings.
You avoid surprise repair bills. Our house inspections and building inspections usually take two to three hours and cover roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, moisture, and grading, so you can set a repair budget, plan safety fixes, and negotiate with clear facts.
If you’re in Whanganui, our team at Manawatu Building Inspections carries out house inspections and building inspections every day. Contact us to book a pre-purchase house inspection or request a quote.
A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition before you complete the purchase, a form of building inspection often grouped under house inspections. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other areas to find hidden issues, and it’s different from a pre-sale house inspection arranged by a seller. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Manawatu Building Inspections in Whanganui 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 negotiating power in price negotiations, much like how a pre-sale house inspection helps set fair expectations. Call Manawatu Building Inspections in Whanganui at 0800 000 419 to schedule your inspection today.
Book it right after your offer is accepted but before the contract is binding. That timing lets you read the report, ask questions, and decide what to do next.

To book your inspection, call Manawatu Building Inspections in Whanganui at 0800 000 419.

Yes. Even homes that look well cared for can hide issues you will not spot without training–leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage problems, termites.

Sellers might do a pre-sale house inspection, but as a buyer you still need your own pre-purchase inspection. Call Manawatu Building Inspections in Whanganui at 0800 000 419 to book yours.
Hidden defects and permit snags sink deals and blow up budgets in Manawatu. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find the real story early and keep your move, sale, or project on track.
We are based in Manawatu and we inspect homes here every week, so we know the typical moisture traps, tired roofing, and unpermitted changes that show up. Our team brings proven skill, careful reporting, safe access to roofs and subfloors when conditions allow, and a tidy process backed by insurance and strict internal reviews.
You get a clear, photo rich report the same day that ranks safety, major, and minor findings and gives plain next steps with repair timelines. We answer your questions before and after, schedule fast, carry general liability and errors and omissions insurance, and show up when we say we will, because skipping a proper inspection or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to surprise structural costs, unsafe wiring, lender or insurance delays, failed appraisals, or correction notices from your local building department.
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.
