    "Our initial dealings with Inspection Plus Ltd was with Ailsa who is friendly, responsive, and so accommodating to do everything possible to have an inspection booked to suit our offer and conditions for our property purchase.

    Once our inspection was booked, the inspection was completed by Phil, with the report supplied the following day. The report is clear with accompanying photographs, and examines the crucial components of the building with thorough descriptions of his findings. Their reports are by far the best in the Wellington region, compared to the many we have seen during our home purchase journey.

    A follow up call with Phil to discuss the report was great to get an overview of certain items, where Phil clearly explained his inspection and contents of the report. Phil, like Ailsa, is friendly to deal with, qualified in providing his analysis, and spent time over the phone with me. Phil also offered to further discussions if required during our due diligence period.

    We HIGHLY recommend Phil and Ailsa at Inspections Plus Ltd, and will do so to anyone who asks us to recommend a residential building inspection company within the Wellington region. Thanks again Ailsa and Phil!

    "The best & best service, advised give by Alisa. I called her to discuss few things about my house which was I am going to buy . She gave genuine advised about the property without charging any money and the person who did builder report when I asked him question he never give me any proper advised and time to discuss things .

    Now to do builders report for my next property I am going to take Alisa’s company service . I fully trust them . Apart of their good knowledge and services they are very kind, good behavior and never make you fell uncomfortable even you ask them as many questions you want happy to answer your questions . I can trust them 100%.

    They are the best . Always recommend them.

    "Excellent service which I cannot recommend highly enough. From my first contact with Ailsa, who gave me lots of useful advice to enable me to get a better understanding of the apartment I was looking to purchase, through to talking with Phil after receiving the building inspection report, I could not fault their service in any way. Not only was the report very detailed including photos, Phil also phoned later that day to explain everything and allowed plenty of time for questions. Following his report, I was able to make an informed decision re purchasing the property and did not proceed to purchase it. I will definitely use their services for the next prospective home I find.

    Thank you Phil and Ailsa, your expertse and attention to detail potentially saved me from loosing a lot of money!

    "Phil and Ailsa were extremely professional. We were first home buyers and I found their report to be extremely thorough. Phil requested additional information from the vendor to make a thorough report which we very much appreciated - we could then make an informed decision on the house. Ailsa also spent lots of time on the phone with me to explain things to us and was very patient and understanding (as we found buying stressing). The report we received will be useful for establishing immediate and future maintenance priorities for the property. We would whole-heartedly recommend them especially to nervous first home buyers!"

    "As a buyer I called Phil about a report he'd done for the house I was looking to buy. I was really impressed with his manner and the time he took to go through my questions.

    The report was well written. Not just a tick box.

    Great manner. Great service. Thank you "

    "If you want a Reliable, Honest and Informative builders report, this is the business to use! I highly recommend this business. We used Inspection Plus (Phil and Ailsa) for a number of property inspections and building advice. They have been incredible. I have full confidence in their knowledge and expertise. They continued to enlighten us with extremely important issues that other 'tick box' inspection companies failed to mention. I also appreciated their maintenance suggestions which we will continue to use well into the future. Thank you so much for going the extra yards to help us make the right decisions. Much appreciated. (ps: They are worth every penny as they are extremely thorough.)"

    "Phil and Alisa are amazing. Without their very detailed report, we wouldn't have the confidence to purchase our first home. Their Building Inspection Report is not only a trove of information about the property, it is also filled with valuable suggestions on what action to take with regards to problem areas or anything that needs maintenance.

    They went above and beyond their work, talking us through anything we didn't understand, and even made sure that some work on the house done by the Vendors before settlement was up to industry standards. I can't thank them enough for their assistance and caring."

    "If you’re seeking a home inspection, look no further. These guys are a legit, honest, old school business that do what they promise (incredibly well), when they say they will do it, without fuss, extra upsells, delays, and the usual pitfalls of modern money-driven business practices. A very rare find these days! They don’t squeeze 8 inspections in per day, and send you a tick-box report. Ailsa and Phil took *time* to help us through the process, from initial phone call, to inspection, to follow up service. The report is seriously detailed, was delivered when promised, and is worth every cent above what other inspection businesses charge (not much more expensive either!)

    Do yourself a favour and contact them immediately. If you are lucky enough that they have a day available to inspect your potential purchase (remember, one a day!), you will not regret it. Unbeatable value and truly the most lovely people to deal with.

    "We have used Inspectionplus 3 times over the last year. Right from the initial conversation with Ailsa I knew that I was dealing with professionals who really cared about providing as much help as they could to their clients. Ailsa provide all sorts of background knowledge about things I would not have even thought about in relation to buying and selling a house.

    The reports were very detailed and were particularly helpful in one instance where we decided against buying a house due to it being potentially leaky. Due to the nature of buying and selling things often happen last minute and Ailsa fitted us recently and it enabled us to make a offer on a house which we ended up buying.

    Phil is always available to talk over his report which means if there is anything you don't quite understand or need clarification on he will talk you through it. I have absolutely no hesitation on highly recommending Inspectionplus and would use them again.

    "We were recommended to get in touch with Ailsa and Phil through colleagues, and were SO glad we did! As first home buyers, it can be intimidating knowing where to start when assessing a property. Ailsa was able to provide a ton of information over the phone simply by looking at the listing and other publicly available information, and was wonderfully honest about potential red flags. Although they were rather busy when we first contacted them, we were able to have an inspection done in an extremely timely manner, with clear communication throughout. This lead to us finding our perfect first home, and the report also serves as an amazing reference now that our offer has been excepted. We would whole heartedly recommend Inspection Plus to anyone that needs an honest and detailed independent builders report!"

    "I was introduced to Phil and Ailsa by a colleague who had previously undertaken services through Inspections Plus. I quickly found out that it was very obvious why my colleague had recommended them.

    Both Phil and Ailsa were perfect harmonious partners in getting our pre-purchase building inspection sorted (also available instantly to help answer any of my questions when needed), and in fact I recall that I first approached them on a late afternoon via telephone call, and Phil was kind enough to adjust his schedule to get the inspection done early in the next morning.

    The follow up communication and reports produced from the inspection was very highly detailed, and drafted in a way in which anybody could understand very easily. I am not sure whether this was standard practice, but I was very surprised and thankful when Phil extracted the core parts of the report to create a separate report that the vendor of the property could see and be directed to the issues. This helped facilitate a smooth turn of events that ultimately led to the current stage now, where the previously identified issues are in the process of being remediated in accordance with Phil's recommendations. All I can say is that Phil and Ailsa has gone the extra mile, and I could see that this level of professionalism and attention to customer satisfaction was not new for them, and already embedded as part of their standard approach to all customers.

    I have already recommended Phil and Ailsa to a few colleagues of mine who are currently also looking for a property, and I am sure that they will be as satisfied as I was if they choose to engage in Phil and Ailsa's services.

    "I highly recommend Inspection Plus to anyone buying a home. Phil and Ailsa are absolutely amazing, and we have had them inspect several homes for us. They are thorough and practical, and easy to understand. It gave us confidence when buying a home to know the house was okay, and also helped us understand maintenance aspects that might arise in future. They calmly guide you through the process and answer any questions you have. Awesome team!"

    "I can't speak too highly of the service provided by Phil and Ailsa. We used them 8 years prior and were our first choice to go back to. Ailsa is so knowledgeable and is able to answer any questions and give lots of practical advice over the phone - really above and beyond. We got a couple of reports from them during our search in 2018 and I found them so useful and could use the detailed info to learn what to look for ourselves when viewing houses. Phil's reports are narrative style,detailed, and work well as a maintenance plan if you are successful. They were both so easy to deal with, happy to take calls and questions and arrange their schedule to suit our deadlines. Really made a stressful process a lot easier to manage. Brilliant service."

    "No complaints with the quality of the report. We used Phil 8 years ago and were happy, and chose him again. It was thorough and he got to grips with the property.

    We were disappointed that the report was not completed when we understood the timeframe to be. We had agreed to a 24h delay in the planned inspection for Phil and Ailsa's personal circumstances, but were promised the report that same night. This expectation was not met (it came the next morning), but when I questioned it, it was implied that I was incorrect rather than simply apologising.

    Apart from that issue, Phil and Ailsa were reliable and communicated regarding the job.

From start to finish, Ailsa is amazing and experienced and answered my many questions with easy to understand advice. Phil did such a thorough report and very promptly too. The house we were looking at already had a vendor report, but we wanted our own advice. Phil’s report picked up quite a few things that the other report hadn’t including black mold! We pulled out of the deal and so grateful. This amazing team saved us, from potentially a big mistake and thousands of $ of repairs!"

    "Ailsa and Phil came highly recommended and they exceeded our expectations in every way. Ailsa is so wonderful on the phone and great at explaining things to look for. She even spent time to recommend me check a number of things like ordering the building plans from WCC Archives first prior to booking to make sure the timbers were treated before ordering the inspection! Luckily the house was fine, but if it hadn't we would have saved $$ on the inspection. We used them for 2 inspections, and the second house we had our offer accepted. I can't recommend them enough. You can tell they really care about every customer, you don't find this dedication everyday. Very thorough inspection reports, with maintenance considerations. So knowledgable and helpful in the process of making the biggest purchase of our lives!"

She took her time and really made sure I understood the process. They were very prompt and moved quickly as they knew I was working toward a deadline sale and provided a thorough, meticulous report on the building inspection. I never thought I would say I enjoyed reading a builder's report but I did! It was well written, thorough and extremely detailed. The photos taken were detailed and they made sure they talked me through it and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. I would use them again no doubt and would not hesitate to recommend them."

    ""Phil & Ailsa from Inspection Plus are absolutely amazing! They carried out pre-purchase building inspection for me and were incredible every step of the way! Prior to the inspection, and after it, Ailsa spent a lot of time answering my questions and giving excellent advice over the phone and steered me in the right direction as to further information I should gather about the house.
    The inspection was carried out by Phil very promptly, and I received the report within 24 hours which was great! The report was comprehensive, everything was explained in detail (with photos included), and I could tell that Phil had spent a lot of time at the property inspecting it thoroughly. I couldn't have asked for a better, more thoroughly carried out building report. Phil and Ailsa were so accomodating and Phil was happy to chat about anything that the report highlighted. This level of expertise, care and thought made it easy for me to proceed with my house purchase with absolute confidence. Phil and Ailsa's customer service is excellent!!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Phil and Ailsa and the services they provide. Anyone needing a building inspection, should definitely come to Inspection Plus! I am the very happy owner of a new home, that I know is structurally sound, thanks to Phil and Ailsa. "

    "Phil from Inspection Plus inspected a house in which we had submitted a tender. He found substantive problems that we would not have picked up on ourselves, and he patiently and carefully explained those problems to us. Ultimately, we backed out of the sale because urgently needed repairs would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. Arranging a builders report from Inspection Plus was one of the best decisions we have ever made. "

    "Thank goodness I called Inspection Plus for a proper report!. Sure it cost me a few hundred dollars for a house i didnt end up purchasing but it saved me tens of thousands of dollars. I was very keen on a unit i saw in Wellington City. The vendor through her agent had already \"kindly\" procured an inspection report themselves that was made available to me along with the LIM ( it was a vague tick box report with no real information, that had actually cost the vendor as much as I paid for a proper report!). I was advised by the agents EA that the agent always uses this inspection company and finds them great, i bet she does!

    .A quick google of the words fairgo and building inspection or just the surname of the building inspector is the first thing I recommend any buyer do when presented with a tick type inspection report from any vendor. maybe even type in the words \"don\'t trust a fraudster\" too, interesting what you will find. The report showed all was hunky dory, oh dear but there was a birds nest needing to be removed! (actually i have just noticed the BAD wellington based company as promoted by real estate agents is reviewed on this no cowboys site and has low ratings-make sure you read it)



    A thorough report as provided by Phil showed the balcony and stairs were had it and dangerous,place needed painting (i had initially noticed a damp smell covered up by room deodoriser) and possibility of asbestos that i had suspected myself.

    . What gets me is that some Buyers think that a tick Building Report as provided by an agent is all the information that is required- please BEWARE

    So please NEVER accept a report provided by the agent unless it is Inspection Plus. And dont get the wrong idea he isnt picky for the sake of it, the house i did buy got a perfect report.

    "We have experienced a very high level of service and advice from the Inspection Plus team. They are extremely thorough in their work, accommodating our needs and explaining everything to us very carefully, giving us the opportunity to understand all the building issues clearly.
    We had a very tight time frame to work in and the team were able to meet our needs in tis regard. Aisla provided us with a a very friendly, detailed and professional introduction to the whole process of buying a home and we found this extremely helpful.

    The report was very detailed and we had the opportunity to be in site when the inspection was done to ask questions and receive initial feedback..Phil was easy to talk with and very professional. After reading the report we had the opportunity to be walked through the report by Phil and ask questions so that we weer fully satisfied with our understanding of the housing issues.

    When we needed a summary of key issues to be addressed in the housing purchase negotiations Ailsa was very quick to provide this for us.

    Their service is professional, friendly and they protected our interests and potential investment in this property to a very high level.

    We highly recommend Inspection Plus to undertake building inspections for house purchases. They are top of he line!!

    "As a first home buyer I would highly recommend Inspection Plus. Ailsa and Phil have provided me with a high standard of building reports over the past four months that I have been searching for a house. Their advise and building reports have been professional and informative. The reports outline the positives and negatives of a property and are backed up with a verbal report when required. The report explains the area of the home looked at and is supported with clear photos throughout. Phil's inspections have saved me from buying properties with major issues and helped me make a successful offer and purchase a property in the past week. Their communication and customer service is excellent. I would definitely use this company again and have family that have also used Inspection Plus with excellent results. Thanks heaps Phil and Ailsa."

    "Inspection Plus did great work! First, Ailsa had a phone conversation with me based on the house's Trademe ad, highlighting things that might be worth looking at. This was before we had hired Inspection Plus to carry out the inspection; she was just being helpful.

    Then the actual inspection was very prompt and thorough. They found a number of issues (as would be expected with an old house), but they contextualised these issues and gave very clear options as to how we could deal with them. Rather than just give us a laundry list of problems with the house, they gave us a clear priority list of what we needed to deal with immediately and what was just standard maintenance.

    As a result of the inspection, we negotiated the price down a smidge, and bought the house with confidence, knowing exactly what we're going to need to take care of once we move in. I could not ask for a better inspection service.

    "Inspectionplus+ were recommended to us by friends, and when the time came to put an offer on our first house in a closed tender, we called on them to help us do our due diligence. Ailsa gave excellent personalised advice and service from our very first contact, and Phil's report was thorough, concise and turned around extremely efficiently. We were thrilled to be the successful bid, and wouldn't have got the result we did without Inspectionplus+' fast and efficient service. We also appreciated their honesty with us when another party asked for an inspection on the same property, and their policies to deal with that situation were sound and fair."

    "Great advice and a thorough building inspection that covered everything that matters. The report identified things that were important such as any structural issues and plumbing. From this we were able to negotiate with the vendor and avoid any hidden issues had we gone ahead without finding them out. Ailsa was very helpful and friendly to deal with with so much invaluable advice for first home buyers. I highly recommend inspection plus."

    "For a first home buyer, someone like Inspection Plus is a must. Especially in Wellington where there can so many issues about leaky homes and where there are quite a few outfits who do not necessarily do a rigorous jobs and have the buyers perspective in mind. In a time when your own knowledge is half baked you need the likes of Phil and Ailsa around to ensure that you are looking for the right things and asking the right questions. That more than justifies their fees.

    Phil has done four inspections on my behalf (2 unconditional offers that we didn't win, 1 offer that was accepted but Phil's pointing out some issues saved us from making a wrong buying decision and the fourth is the our first home that we live). Phil not only provides reports, he also provided objective advise that helped me take confident/informed decisions (yes or no).

    I will trust Phil/Ailsa anytime & every time. If you need further confirmation of how they helped secure our first home give me a call at 021 813 801.

    "From the first contact with Ailsa, Inspection Plus was a joy to deal with. I was under a tight deadline to have the inspection done, and they came in with a couple of days to spare.
    They were recommended to me, and I would definitely pass their name on to anyone looking for a building inspection. The report was easy to read, and Phil was very good at explaining things that I was unsure of. Thanks for an awesome job!

    "Fantastic. Despite the earthquake having just happened and them being rushed off their feet with insurance claim inspections etc. Phil & Ailsa managed to fit me in at short notice & conducted a highly in depth and well balanced property inspection on the house I was looking to purchase.
    Unlike some other property inspection companies here in Wellington, Inspection Plus will mention the positive aspects of a property instead of ONLY they negatives. This enables to you get a far more balanced viewpoint. Phil & Ailsa will follow up with phonecalls helping you to decipher the information given and suggest courses of action you could take in terms of DIY fixes or professional. I've used Inspection Plus for several property reports now and would never choose anyone else. Even the realestate agents agree. Phil is the best.

    Very fast turnaround. No scare tactics. Speaks in laymen's terms, no smoke and mirrors fancy contraptions, just good honest property inspections from someone you can trust.

    A+++

    "Phil and Ailsa both did a fantastic job of guiding me through the building inspection side of putting in an offer on my first home. Ailsa has the magic touch of soothing frazzled nerves whilst simultaneously giving relevant advice, and Phil exudes a calm knowledge of what is important for new buyers to be wary of. The inspection report is worth every cent, and will effectively serve as my maintenance list for the next year. The report definitely helped get me a good price on a property with some maintenance issues - and found some water tightness issues I had not been aware of even as a current tenant of the property. I will happily recommend Phil and Ailsa to my friends and contacts."

Phil is very thorough and we felt hugely grateful for his inspection of the house we bought in 04 and we very happily and confidently used his services again for when we put the house on the market this month. Would definitely use the team again in Wellington and wouldn\'t hesitate to recommend them "

We greatly appreciate being able to talk through the report in detail with Phil afterwards and the follow-up from Ailsa. We would never consider buying a house without having an inspection from this team as part of the contract. "

    "What a wonderful service these guys provide! They really understand and respect the fact that buying a new home is a pretty huge affair for most people and conduct themselves with total professionalism.
    With Ailsa taking calls and giving so much advice (for free!) that shows that they have been in this business a long time and really know their stuff!
    Phil\'s inspection was just right in that he didn\'t scare us away from buying the house, but also gave us some advice on what could be potential problems in the future and provided reasons why. He even gave us some advice on the lawn even though it was out of the scope of the inspection!

    When we read the report it was concise and written in plain english and carried on from Phil\'s approach that understands us as buyers.

    Thank you to inspection plus for this AAA grade service! Highly recommended to any house buyer.

    "Many many thanks to “Capital House Inspections - Inspection Plus” who guided, taught and gave lots of free advice over phone.

    I didn’t pay a single dollar but still they protect me from buying wrong house. Ailsa asked me to check some initial points about that house which become crucial for choosing that house.
    And after that I googled and talked to few others NZIBS registered surveyor(http://www.nzibs.org.nz/) and the result came out from that is the same which “Capital House Inspections - Inspection Plus” told me very first stage.

    Much much appreciated your help Ailsa. You not only save builder report cost i.e. $500-$750 but also protect me to buy wrong house.

    If I buy any house in near future, I would defiantly like to take your service.

    Highly recommend to others.

    Regards,

    Kuntal

    "Thank you once again for all the help and support. It was really a pleasure to work with you and Phil. The house hunting experience was a bit stressful but it was also a good learning experience. I never know about claddings and eaves before :) , but thanks to your patience and advise, I now know what things too look for in a house.

    It was really a blessing that I did not buy the first house we looked at. I would not know that it was a leaky home if not for your advise. The building inspection was really worth it. Now, my wife and I are very happy that we have found a good house. Thank you for all your help. I will definitely recommend you and Phil to any one I come across that are in the process of buying a house.

    regards,

    Luigi

About us
Inspections Plus Ltd specialises in pre-purchase and pre-marketing Building Reports.

What we do
Buying a home can be one of the biggest investments in life. Having a pre-purchase Building Report gives you peace of mind that there are no hidden expenses or surprises, making you an informed buyer.
A pre-marketing Building Report is commissioned by the homeowner intending to sell their property. This is not a sales document but rather a report to inform the homeowner of any failings or maintenance issues, which can be rectified before the house is marketed.

The dwelling is assessed for its structural integrity, weathertightness and maintenance requirements. This includes the exterior cladding, exterior joinery, roofing and foundations. The electrical system, plumbing and drainage are also inspected and advised upon.

Extensive moisture testing is standard with every inspection to determine if there are any weathertightness or dampness issues.

Our inspection is carried out to the New Zealand standard 4306:2005.

Categories we service
Property Inspection Services, Pre-purchase property inspections, House Inspections, Home inspection services, Building Inspections

Areas we service
Wellington City, Wellington CBD, Porirua Area, Kapiti Coast Area, Hutt Valley Area
