Buyer beware
Insist on a real inspection
New Zealand's inspection industry is unregulated — anyone can call themselves a house inspector. A Fair Go investigation also exposed a real conflict of interest: under pressure to close a sale, some agents steer buyers away from thorough inspectors because a report that finds serious problems can "kill the deal." Insist on NZS 4306:2005 compliance, professional indemnity insurance and genuine accreditation — we tick every box.
