"I recently used NZ House Surveys Hawkes Bay to inspect two properties I was interested in. Real story here is that after my first experience with NZ House surveys, I went back again. Dave identified some aspects I hadn't spotted myself - such as a few original wooden piles right in the middle of the house which hadn't been replaced due to poor accessibility. Other stuff included: Paint pots sitting in a roofspace catching drips, rotting timber framing, structural supports that are shown in council drawings but physically missing. I am happy to recommend NZ House Surveys Hawkes Bay." Wayne Bickers

Big thanks to you Dave and your team for providing a great service. It can be really tricky and challenging time to buy a home and you made this part of it a breeze. I really like how you itemize everything and bring attention to potential issues and also that you worked for me and had my best interests at heart!" Kat Mac

"We have recently used NZ House Surveys Hawkes Bay for a building report. We found Dave was honest, efficient and great to deal with. He was fantastic at returning calls and following up with emails. His report was thorough and detailed with good pictures and was received less than 24 hours after the house was inspected! We would thoroughly recommend this service to save being caught out when purchasing a home. Money well spent!" Bronwyn Gardner 

"A very professional service. Quick to call me back and provided a very thorough report. Saved me a lot of money by reporting the full extent of issues for a property I was considering buying. Well worth the pre-purchase fee. Thanks Dave" Carmel Cournane

"My local NZ House Survey builder was fast to reply, happy to chat about anything I wanted clarification on. With the different packages, I was able to choose what level of detail suited me best. The Builders Report & Meth test were carried out virtually the next day and within 24hrs I had the report. Now that is fast service at a crucial time! It was comprehensive, easy to understand and Dave was happy to elaborate on any query's I had. Fantastic service, I highly recommend!" Cattz

Dave was also very helpful in our follow up conversations when he gave excellent answers to remedial work needing done, what was desperate, what was urgent and what could wait upon finances. I would happily recommend him and his services to anyone." Andrew Robarts

"Highly recommend NZ House Surveys Hawkes Bay. Dave responded to my enquiry very quickly and followed up with a phone call to explain the different packages. We needed a report urgently - Dave made himself available and provided us with a very thorough and clear report with a summary highlighting important areas to note. Without this report we wouldn't have known the fireplace in our new home wasn't consented which would have led to major insurance issues down the track. The silver package is definitely worth while. Excellent service." Emma D. 

"Just a quick note to say thank you for the building report. It was really comprehensive and gave us the confidence to put in our best offer on the house. Vendors have accepted – we’re glad we got the report done – it will be helpful to use as a list of maintenance things to address when we move in." R. Maidment
