What we learned talking to buyers

Three strangers. Three inspections. One house. $2,000 wasted.

Buyers pay $700 for an inspection, pull out, and the next buyer pays again for the same findings. Final exists because a property only needs inspecting once.

A scenario we heard, more than once

We’d put in an offer subject to a building report. Paid $680 for it. It came back with a leaky roof and some dodgy wiring, so we pulled out. Two weeks later the house sold. I’d bet anything the next buyers paid for the same report.

Buyer in Wellington, 2024

That $680 bought findings the buyer needed for two weeks. Final keeps the inspection on file, so the next buyer starts from the report instead of the chequebook.

How it works

The full findings. Before you commit.

One independent inspection. One sealed report. Unlock it and read exactly what the inspector found.

Read it exactly as issued

We publish it exactly as issued: no edits, no redactions, no seller version. The findings are the inspector’s, not ours.

Built around the people who use it

Independent from day one. That’s the only way it works.

We talked to buyers who felt misled, inspectors who hated the duplication, and agents tired of managing four different reports on the same listing. This is what they told us they needed.

Accredited inspectors only

Every report is completed by a qualified professional carrying indemnity insurance. We credential-check before anyone joins the network.

Sealed the moment it’s issued

Reports are digitally time-stamped on completion. Nobody, not us, not the seller, not the agent, can alter a single word after that.

You can rely on it. Legally.

The report is issued under the inspector’s professional accreditation and indemnity, so its findings carry formal legal weight. You’re relying on the inspection itself, not a seller’s summary of it.

All reports prepared to NZS 4306:2005. Inspector credentials documented and verified.

30 seconds could save you $700.
