Currently in New Zealand, anybody can carry out a pre purchase inspection and this is a big problem.

This is why you should choose a BOINZ accredited building surveyor. They are qualified and experienced professionals who are regularly audited and peer reviewed so that they are more than just self declared experts.

The result of a pre-purchase inspection, the builders report helps customers make an informed decision about a certain property they are interested in. It contains detailed information including particular attributes , any significant defects, non significant but urgent items and any overdue maintenance.

Accredited Building Surveyors have undertaken a commitment to appropriate qualifications, skill and knowledge. They are dedicated to quality building surveying practices, ensuring consumers are provided the best quality of service and an understanding of the issues presented in relation to the building concerned.

An Accredited Building Surveyor is assessed through training, assessment and peer review, prior to accreditation and is required to undertake continual professional development courses to maintain their annual accreditation.

The Accredited Building Surveyor Programme benefits not only the potential building purchaser, but provides confidence to the real estate, insurance and banking sectors in relation to the status of a building.

Now you know why, why would you use anyone else?

You are more than welcome to be present for the inspection, we do ask that you save all questions and comments until the end of the inspection.

Price should not be the ultimate determining factor for choosing the right inspector. Cheap is not always good and could be less thorough!
