Choosing a home building inspector

9 June 2022

It is very prudent to have a professional home inspection before you purchase. It is also essential that you choose a properly qualified, trained home inspector, not just a builder who is qualified as a builder and not necessarily a home inspector.


All our A Buyers Choice Home Inspectors:

  • Hold an internationally recognised home inspection qualification
  • Have completed the A Buyers Choice Home Inspections in house training course which includes 10 full inspections
  • Have been trained to test for Meth/P contamination
  • Have extensive public liability and professional indemnity insurance, underwritten by Lloyds of London.


We believe that A Buyers Choice Home Inspections reports are second to none but don’t take our word for it. Check us out on www.nocowboys.co.nz, the building trades major independent ratings website.


A Buyers Choice Home Inspections New Zealand are part of an international franchise of professional home inspectors that operate in 19 countries worldwide. There are more than 200 A Buyers Choice Home Inspectors conducting tens of thousands of inspections each year.


In New Zealand alone our inspectors have conducted thousands of home inspections. You may not be aware that there is no law in New Zealand preventing anyone from being a home inspector without any formal home inspection training or qualification.



That makes it even more important that you choose a reputable company where all the inspectors are formally trained and qualified as home inspectors just like in many other countries where the same qualification is required to become a home inspector.
