Company description
NZ House Surveys covers the wider Wellington area, offering comprehensive and thorough building reports.
Our pre-purchase inspections include:
• Our company sends 2 inspectors to site – for the following reasons:
1. 4 eyes are better than 2
2. Increased accuracy in identifying leaks in timber subfloors
