whether it be for Pre-Purchase, Heathly Homes, Floor Levels or even meth testing, Selecting the right report is so important.
Selecting The Right Pre-Purchase Report
Written Building Report
This is the report you need when you are buying or selling. It is extremely comprehensive yet easy to read, great for lenders and insurers.
It will highlight and advise on any issues viewed from a construction experts’ perspective, putting focus on the structural elements of the home. It will provide you with all of the information you need to inform yourself or a potential buyer about the status of the house from a practical point of view.
Healthy Homes Report
The Healthy Homes Standards aim to make a significant change to the quality of New Zealand rental homes and cover improvements to heating, insulation, and ventilation and addressing issues with moisture ingress, drainage and draught stopping.
This report will identify the elements of the dwelling that need immediate repairs to assist with keeping it compliant with the Healthy Homes Guarantee Act 2017.
Additional Reports That You Can 'Add-On'
Meth Testing Report
Unfortunately, meth testing is one of those things that is a big part of buying and selling and renting a home. Make sure you add on meth testing for your home for peace of mind, and as a document to prove it has been checked for your insurer should any issues arise.
Once samples are taken and sent to the laboratory it takes 2 working days to complete the testing (this excludes courier delivery time). Testing is carried out in accordance to NZS8510.
Floor Level Report
The Canterbury Earthquakes have taught us that floor level surveys help significantly to prove after an event that issues to do with your foundations are not historic... Make life easier for yourself and tack on having these checked by our qualified LBPs to safeguard your home for any future claim.
Floor level surveys will also help with understanding the current status of the foundations which will be useful for any future developments of the property such as renovations.
Selecting The Right Pre-Purchase Report
Verbal Building Report
When it comes to pre-auction inspections, Verbal Reports are the perfect fit for those who need a quick turn-around because time is a premium and you just want an experts eye run over the property you're about to bid on.
Written Building Report
This is the report that you need when you are buying or selling. It will fulfil the requirements of your lender and will cover off any structural issues that you need to know about.
Our LBP's won't waste time looking at curly wallpaper, or grass in the gutter, they'll instead use their experience and expertise to produce a report that is purely designed to provide you with the certainty that your home is structurally sound and fit for purpose.

"For peace of mind, we wanted to have a Health Homes report completed on our rental property.
We were recommended to use Brennan at Red LBP. We are so glad we used Brennan’s services. The process was very easy from start to finish.
Tui booked us in at a busy time of year, and made sure that we had a reminder the day prior to the inspection. We had a report within 24 hours, and it was clear and simple for us to understand. Being able to communicate with nice people just made it all the better.
Thank you Brennan, Tui and the Red LBP team for providing such a hassle free, efficient service. We are so grateful to you all. "
