The problem
Surprises kill sales.
Hidden rot. A non-compliant bathroom. Moisture no one checked. These things don't just show up in a buyer's report — they scare buyers off, stall your timeline, and cost you money.
The fix? Find them first.
What we actually do
We don't just point out problems. We sort them.
Most inspectors hand you a report and wish you luck. We're different — we're a team of tradespeople including an accredited building inspector, licensed builders, plumbers, electricians, waterproofer/tilers, and plasterers/painters. With a pre-sale verbal inspection we can identify what issues could stall your sale, then quote and repair.
You get a clear, honest picture of your property. And the solution. If you need the full written report, we can supply that too. You will know what matters, what doesn't, and what to do about it.
What we look at
- Structure & subfloor
- Moisture & weathertightness
- Roof & guttering
- Bathrooms & wet areas
- Electrics
- Plumbing
- Walls, ceilings, floors & joinery
- Decking, fences & exterior
- Healthy Homes basics

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-sale building inspection?
+
A pre-sale building inspection is a check of your property's condition before you list it. It shows sellers what a buyer's building report is likely to find, like moisture, rot, roof or wet-area issues, so you can fix them before buyers see them.
Is a pre-sale inspection worth it when selling a house in Auckland?
+
Yes, for most sellers. Problems that turn up in a buyer's report often lead to price drops, delays or buyers walking away. Finding and fixing them first gives you more control over price and timing, and more confidence at auction or negotiation.
How long does a pre-sale inspection take?
+
Our pre-sale verbal inspection usually takes about 45 minutes on site, depending on the size and condition of the home. We can be at your property within 48 hours of booking.
What does a pre-sale inspection check?
+
We look at structure and subfloor, moisture and weathertightness, roof and guttering, bathrooms and wet areas, electrics, plumbing, walls, ceilings, floors and joinery, decking, fences and exterior, plus Healthy Homes basics.
What's the difference between a verbal and a written building report?
+
A verbal inspection gives you a fast, honest walk-through of what matters and what doesn't, which suits most sellers preparing to list. A full written report documents the findings formally and can be shared with buyers or agents. We can provide either.
Can you fix the problems you find?
+
Yes. Unlike most inspectors, TradePlus is a team of licensed builders, plumbers, electricians, waterproofer/tilers and plasterers/painters. We quote and complete the repairs ourselves, so you don't have to chase several different tradies.
Should I do repairs before selling my house?
+
Fixing issues buyers will notice, like leaks, moisture, rot, non-compliant wet areas or safety problems, usually pays off because it protects your sale price. Purely cosmetic work is optional. We'll tell you where your money matters most before sale.
Will a pre-sale inspection help me sell faster?
+
It can. When there are fewer surprises in the buyer's building report, there's less renegotiation and fewer conditions fall over. That usually means a smoother, faster sale.
How do I book a pre-sale inspection with TradePlus?
+
Call us on 0800 TRPLUS (0800 877 587). We're open 8am–5pm, Monday to Saturday, and cover homes across Auckland.
