Why is Healthy Homes Compliance so Important ?
Nearly 600,000 households rent in New Zealand, and New Zealand based research tells us that our rental stock is poorer quality than owner occupied homes. Research shows a link between cold, damp and mouldy homes and negative health outcomes, particularly for illnesses such as asthma and cardiovascular conditions.
By improving the quality of rental homes, New Zealanders who rent will experience improved health, as well as lower medical costs and lower levels of hospitalisations. Warmer and drier homes are also less likely to have issues with mould or mildew damage, better protecting a landlord’s investment.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Fantastic service, really pleased with how thorough the report was - also impressed that it was able to be done at such short notice. A+.
An excellent and thorough report! Much appreciated. I’ll definitely be recommending Express Building Inspections.
This is a high quality service where they are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. I was incredibly impressed by the speed and quality of the inspection and report.
Zane was very prompt in his response to my enquiry and made himself available to fit in with my timeframes. The report was detailed and included many photos and recommendations that enabled me to get a thorough insight and view of the House. More importantly, the report allowed me to make an informed offer. The price for the report was also reasonable and compared well with other quotes. Once the report was sent, Zane also followed up with a phone call to check in. I certainly recommend him to any potential buyers.
If you want your house to go on the market with a good clean bill of health, this team is who you contact. Professional, punctual, friendly, helpful, and most importantly they communicate with you throughout the process, giving in-depth details on your property and reassuring you on reading your report and helpful tips for improving you home. Highly recommend.
My wife and I read a pre-sale report you did on another property and commented that it was the most thorough and easy to understand report around...and we have seen a large number of competitors' reports over the last six months!
