Who we are

About CheckHome

Our team of highly experienced building inspectors are located throughout New Zealand.

Est 2010

Established by Nic Patterson who saw a gap in the building inspection market.

Nic knew a number of people stung by the leaky home era and wanted to create a business that would inform people on exactly what they were purchasing, helping to give peace of mind that their biggest investment was a good investment.

The team at CheckHome have completed over 9000 building inspections since 2010. Our inspectors are all qualified tradesmen with 70+ years building industry experience between them.

All CheckHomes inspectors are either registered building inspectors or affiliated with the New Zealand Institute of Building Inspectors (NZIBI).
