About Us
Permits go sideways, hidden defects pop up, and a missed inspection can stall your project or sink a sale. Wellington House Inspections handles building inspections in Wellington for new builds and renovations, plus pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, so you avoid stop work orders, tear out, and last minute drama.
We are local inspectors with years in construction and permitting in Wellington, and we bring a calm, thorough method to every property. We check roof to foundation, test major systems, run moisture and thermal checks when needed, note visible permit stickers, and deliver same day photo reports with plain next steps.
You get fixed pricing, fast scheduling, and a phone walk through that explains what matters now and what can wait. Common mistakes are booking after the cooling off or contingency date, relying on a seller report, or skipping the roof space and subfloor areas.
Our pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection follow a practical method that covers structure, roof, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical safety, drainage, and moisture so you can avoid blown budgets, failed negotiations, or settlement delays. During building inspections we start outside and on the roof where safe, then the interior, roof space, and subfloor where accessible, we test fixtures and fittings, run moisture scans, note safety risks and maintenance, and we finish with a report that ranks defects by urgency and repair priority.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
