About Us

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, and unpermitted work can turn a property in Upper Hutt into a money pit. Upper Hutt House Inspections handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with clear reporting and practical steps so you can move with confidence.

Our inspectors are licensed and insured with years of local experience in Upper Hutt, and we check every major system from foundation to roof against current local codes. We use thermal imaging, moisture meters, crawlspace cameras, and drones where safe to document problems you cannot see.

You get a plain English report the same day with clear photos, defect ratings, repair time frames, and rough cost ranges that help you decide fast. We show up on time, we pick up the phone, we explain the findings in simple terms, and we back you up during repairs or negotiations.

Pre-purchase inspection helps you negotiate repairs or price, protect financing and insurance, and avoid surprises at closing, and pre-sale inspection helps you fix issues before you list so you don’t get hit with last minute credits, and our building inspections for remodels or new builds check workmanship, code items, and permit closeouts so you don’t fail a final inspection. Common mistakes are skipping the crawl space, trusting a checklist alone, relying only on seller disclosure, or hiring someone who will not go on the roof, and that can lead to unsafe conditions, denied claims, lender delays, fines for unpermitted work, and big repair bills after closing.

Book building inspections in Upper Hutt with a local team that picks up the phone and shows up. Call or message us with your address and timing and we will set the date or send a clear quote.
